Soft, slouchy, and made to last — this navy loop knit alpaca beanie is the kind of winter accessory you'll reach for every day. Knitted from 100% alpaca fibre on a hand knitting machine by a weaving collective in Peru, it has a naturally silky feel that's softer than cashmere and warmer than lamb's wool. A subtle ribbed stripe adds quiet detail without fuss. It makes a thoughtful, sustainable gift for anyone who appreciates quality craftsmanship.
