Varusteleka Alpaca Beanie

Hefty stuff for the winter! Made from alpaca/merino wool blend, this watch cap is warmer than just a lambswool cap of the same weight. These are undyed, what you see are the natural shades of the animal!

• Multi-function model
• Made in Finland! 

Alpaca is a relatively new arrival to the vast wastelands of Finland, but we're slowly getting acquainted with it. We already have alpaca farms here, you know! When you take alpaca and merino wool and combine them to a well-thought-out beanie, you have something damn nice in your hands!

The thick rib knit will stretch to fit your head. You can pull it down as is or fold the edge, watch cap style.

A heavenly blend of alpaca and sheep

Alpaca is said to be up to three times as warm as lambswool, won't pile up easily but doesn't contain lanolin either. On the other hand, merino wool is extremely fine lambswool and traps warmth like there's no tomorrow - all in all, a tried and true material. Both types of wool are pretty warm even when wet and won't stink easily thanks to their antibacterial properties.

Our merino wool is mulesing-free. With alpaca wool, such measures have not been necessary ever, so it's quite ethical by virtue.

Two colors

The available colors are dark brown and grey. As said before, these are the natural shades of the animals and haven't been treated in any way. They can vary just a bit from batch to batch.

Being untreated, they also have the natural odor of the animal, which will wear off with use. We think this is a lovely scent, kinda reminds us of a farm.
