If I have added several photos, it is worth looking at all of them together for the best colour reference. |

When HELEN is a good choice
This beanie works well if you are looking for a turn-up beanie made from natural yarn that covers the ears on colder days without feeling overly thick. The 9046 Wild Berry shade is a good option if you want a muted, dark tone somewhere between brown, purple and burgundy, without a bright or bold effect. This style may not be the best choice if your scalp or forehead is very sensitive to wool with a noticeable halo. If you are unsure how you react to this fibre, it may be worth considering a different yarn with a smoother surface.
Alpaca wool and how it feels on the skin
The beanie is made from 100% alpaca with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification, in a knit with a lightly fluffy surface. The yarn feels soft and pleasant, but the fine fibres may still be noticeable. On very sensitive skin, slight itchiness may appear, especially after longer wear along the forehead line.
Fit and how it sits on the head
HELEN is a classic fitted beanie made in a single rib stitch, so it sits well on the head and adjusts to its shape. The turn-up creates an extra layer over the ears, which improves protection from the cold and helps the beanie stay in place during everyday wear. The medium-weight knit gives a balanced effect: it is not bulky, but it does not feel very thin either.
Everyday wear – what to know
- Medium-weight knit – suitable from chilly autumn through winter, without feeling heavy on the head.
- Turn-up edge – creates a double layer over the ears, which means better protection from wind and cold.
- Rib stitch – adds elasticity, so the beanie stays in place but should not feel tight when the correct size is chosen.
- Light halo on the surface – gives it a soft, slightly cocooning look, while still being noticeable to sensitive skin.
- High resistance to pilling – helps the beanie keep a neat appearance for longer with typical use.
- Wild Berry colour in brown-purple-burgundy tones – easy to wear with earthy and darker wardrobes, and simple to pair day to day with jackets and coats.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – allows control over the density and spring of the knit, which matters for fit and seam durability.
Extra details and matching pieces
The beanie is finished with an eco-leather Nitkowe Love logo tag, which can be unclipped for washing to help reduce wear. If you prefer a beanie with pom-pom, you can choose a matching pom-pom made from the same yarn in the same colour; once ordered, it will be sewn onto your beanie. To create a coordinated set for colder days, you can add matching shawls, wraps or snoods from the shop in a similar tone. To help maintain the properties of your wool beanie, it is worth reading the short guide to wool care, so that hand washing and drying flat do not come as a surprise if the knit changes shape or texture.
