When this style is a good choice

This cashmere beanie is for those who like a close-fitting beanie with a folded brim and want a natural material that feels light yet warm. It works well for everyday wear through the autumn-winter season, especially if you do not want a very thick hat. Shade 685 Pomice is a calm grey tone that pairs easily with outerwear in different colours.

Material and feel against the skin

The MARLA style is made from a double strand of 100% cashmere, handmade on knitting needles. Cashmere gives a soft, gentle feel against the skin, and the light surface halo highlights its natural character. In the manufacturer's information, this style is marked as suitable for sensitive skin.

Fit and how it sits

This is a fitted beanie made in a double rib stitch. This construction helps the beanie sit closer to the head and keep its shape in wear. The folded brim adds an extra layer around the forehead and ears while also giving the beanie a more defined shape. I have been designing and making hats by hand from natural fibres for years, so in this style I combined a medium-weight knit with ribbing to create a comfortable fit without unnecessary bulk.

What it offers in everyday wear

• 100% cashmere – provides warmth at a relatively low weight.
• Medium-weight knit – works well from chilly autumn days into winter, without the feel of a heavy, very thick hat.
• Double rib – helps with flexible fit and gives the beanie a close-to-the-head shape.
• Folded brim – adds extra coverage around the ears and forehead, the areas most exposed to the cold.
• Surface with a light halo – gives the knit the soft, natural look typical of cashmere.
• Handmade on knitting needles – each handmade beanie is made with careful attention to construction and finishing.
• Pilling resistance: medium – with regular wear, this delicate fibre should be cared for gently.
