When this style is a good choice

This beanie is a good option if you are looking for an alpaca beanie with a defined, springy rib that feels snug and warm on colder days without being very bulky. Thanks to the turn-up and fitted shape, it stays securely on the head, so it works well for everyday wear in the city and for walks. The dark green colour suits those who prefer muted, earthy shades of green and want the beanie to complement rather than dominate an outfit. If the skin on your forehead or ears is very sensitive and even a fine halo bothers you, this style may feel too itchy.

How alpaca feels on the skin

The beanie is made from yarn certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, with a distinct but soft halo typical of pure alpaca. It feels pleasant and substantial to the touch, but in direct contact with the skin it may feel slightly itchy for people who are very sensitive to the texture of natural wool, especially around the forehead.

The shape of the dark green LAURIN and how it sits

LAURIN is a turn-up beanie, handmade and knitted in a double rib that naturally adjusts to the shape of the head. The ribbed structure helps it sit neatly around the forehead and ears, while leaving a slight relaxed shape at the crown, typical of a beanie. The turn-up can be adjusted — worn narrower or wider — within the flexibility of the ribbed knit.

How this beanie performs in everyday wear

• Medium-weight knit – provides noticeable warmth in autumn and winter temperatures without the feel of a heavy, overpowering hat.
• Double rib throughout – creates a flexible fit that adapts to the shape of the head and helps keep the beanie in place while moving.
• Turn-up brim – adds an extra layer over the ears and forehead, giving more protection from cool wind.
• High resistance to pilling – with proper care, helps limit the quick appearance of pills, supporting a neat look for longer.
• Natural, delicate halo on the surface – gives it a soft, lightly fluffy character, but may be noticeable for very sensitive skin.
• Dark green shade – pairs well with neutral wardrobe colours, making everyday outfit combinations easier.
• Handmade knitted construction – means small differences between pieces, which is typical of handmade beanies and does not affect wear.

Finishing details and matching accessories

The beanie is finished with a neat tapered crown and decorated with a detachable leather logo tag, which makes washing easier without soaking the leather element. If you prefer a beanie with pom-pom, you can choose a matching dark green pom-pom made from the same yarn for this style. To create a coordinated set for the colder months, you can add matching shawls, wraps or snoods in a similar tone. Detailed guidance on hand washing and drying can be found in the wool care guide; following it is important for maintaining the shape and texture of alpaca knitwear.
