| I do my best to show the colours as accurately as possible in the photos, but sometimes my phone has its own ideas ;) Please remember that shades may also look slightly different depending on your screen settings. If I have added several photos, it is worth looking at all of them together for the best colour reference. |

When this beanie is a good choice
It works well if you are looking for a warm winter beanie that feels cosy without being very heavy or bulky. The peach pink shade pairs well with soft, everyday outfits, whether you wear it with a coat or a jacket. Thanks to the turn-up and the slightly oversized shape, it suits those who do not like very close-fitting styles. It may not be the best choice if you have a very sensitive scalp and even fine wool fibres feel scratchy to you.
Material and feel on the skin
The beanie is made from a yarn containing 65% alpaca, with added polyamide and wool, which gives a light, springy knit with a delicate halo. It feels soft and gently cosy, but if your skin is very sensitive, you may notice a slight prickle. In that case, it may help to wear it over loose hair or with a headband underneath. The yarn used is certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, which confirms it has been tested for harmful substances.
Shape, turn-up and fit
The CHMURKA model is a turn-up beanie with an easier, slightly oversized shape. The single rib knit gives it flexibility, so it sits well on the head without feeling too tight. The turn-up can be worn higher or lower, depending on how much ear coverage you want and how tall you like the beanie to sit. This shape works well for simple everyday wear, and also when you want to soften a more polished coat with a gentle, fluffy texture.
For everyday wear – useful to know
- Medium-weight alpaca blend knit – gives noticeable warmth in autumn and winter without the feel of a heavy, overwhelming hat.
- Fluffy surface with a delicate halo – creates a soft, cosy feel and adds visual warmth to an outfit, but may be noticeable on very sensitive skin.
- Ribbed stitch throughout – helps the beanie stay in place and adapt to the shape of the head, reducing the risk of slipping.
- Turn-up edge – doubles the layer of knit over the ears, which improves protection from cold and wind in this key area.
- Good resistance to pilling – helps the beanie keep a neat appearance with frequent wear during the season, provided it is cared for properly.
- Hand-knitted – gives a more flexible structure than machine production, which makes it easier to fit different head shapes.
- Designed for autumn and winter – best for colder days, and may feel too warm in clearly mild spring temperatures.
Finishing details and matching accessories
This handmade beanie is finished with a Nitkowe Love eco-leather label, which can be easily unclipped before washing for easier care. You can pair it with matching shawls, wraps and snoods to create a cohesive set for the colder months. To help your alpaca wool beanie keep its shape and qualities over time, I recommend hand washing and drying flat. You can find detailed guidance in the wool care guide.
