ELORA Turn-Up Cashmere and Silk Beanie - CHOOSE A COLOR
| 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. |
This hand-knitted cashmere and silk beanie combines a close-fitting shape with a soft, slightly fluffy finish. Made from 91% cashmere and 9% silk, it is designed for autumn and winter. Choose your preferred shade from the available colours, and I'll knit the beanie to order.
For Everyday Wear and Cooler Days
This style is for anyone who prefers soft beanies that sit close to the head. The medium-weight knit provides warmth without the bulk of a thick winter hat. With a choice of colours, you can match your beanie to your clothing or other accessories.
Composition and Feel Against the Skin
The beanie is made from a yarn containing 91% cashmere and 9% silk. I knit each one by hand using two strands of yarn held together. The surface has a fine, natural halo characteristic of cashmere.
Cashmere is appreciated for its softness and can be a comfortable alternative to coarser wool. However, how a fibre feels against the skin varies from person to person, particularly for those with very sensitive skin.
Fit and Finish
ELARA is a close-fitting beanie with a wide folded cuff. The double rib stitch creates a stretchy fabric that helps the hat maintain its shape. The folded cuff adds an extra layer of knit around the forehead and ears.
The beanie has a medium-weight construction and a slightly fluffy surface. Its simple design makes it easy to pair with different scarves and cowls.
What Matters in Everyday Wear
Here are a few details worth knowing about this beanie:
- Medium-weight knit made with two strands, suitable for autumn and winter without excessive bulk,
- stretchy double rib stitch for a close, comfortable fit,
- wide folded cuff with an extra layer of fabric around the forehead and ears,
- soft cashmere and silk yarn with a fine, natural halo,
- a choice of available colours, with each beanie knitted to order,
- gentle care and occasional rest between wears to help maintain the cashmere fibres.
Additional Information and Care
What I particularly like about this style is that even with two strands of yarn, the beanie remains pleasantly lightweight and doesn't look bulky when worn close to the head.
Hand wash only and dry flat. You can find more detailed instructions in my wool care guide.
