For everyday wear and cooler months

This is a women’s cashmere beanie and a unisex style for anyone who likes a close-fitting shape with a turn-up and wants to wear a natural fibre in everyday outfits. The medium-weight knit works well in autumn and winter when you want warmth without a very thick knit. Anthracite is a muted dark grey that pairs easily with both a coat and a jacket.

100% cashmere and a soft feel against the skin

The MARLA beanie is made from yarn with a 100% cashmere composition. This natural fibre is valued for its lightness, softness and good insulation at a low weight, so a cashmere beanie can provide pleasant warmth without feeling heavy. The knit has a delicate halo that highlights the natural character of the material and, according to its parameters, it is suitable for sensitive skin.

A shape that keeps its structure and sits well

This is a close-fitting beanie, handmade with knitting needles using two strands of yarn in a double rib stitch. This construction gives it more elasticity and helps the beanie sit better on the head. The turn-up reinforces the forehead and ear area, while the overall look remains soft rather than overly stiff.

What it offers in everyday wear

• 100% cashmere – gives a soft handle and a pleasant feel against the skin, especially important when worn without a lining.
• Medium-weight knit – works well through the autumn-winter season without the effect of a very heavy, bulky hat.
• Double rib – improves elasticity, so the beanie adapts better to the shape of the head and stays in place more securely.
• Turn-up – adds an extra layer at the bottom, so the ears and forehead are better protected from the cold.
• Knit with a delicate halo – gives a softer, more natural look than a smooth, technical finish.
• Handmade with knitting needles – allows me to control stitch tension and the construction of the beanie at every stage of making.
• Pilling resistance: medium – with everyday use, it is worth keeping in mind that this delicate fibre needs careful care.
