FAQs
Is the alpaca wool itchy?
Alpaca fiber is generally much softer and less prickly than traditional sheep's wool, making it very comfortable for most users.
Can I put this beanie in the dryer?
No, you should never tumble dry this beanie as the heat will cause the natural wool fibers to shrink and felt.
Does the beanie come in different sizes?
The beanie is designed in a flexible, one-size-fits-most rib-knit construction that accommodates most adult head sizes comfortably.
How should I store this during summer?
Clean the beanie first, then store it in a cool, dry place inside a breathable fabric bag to protect it from moths and dust.
Is the red color very bright?
The red variant provides a rich, vibrant tone that serves as a great statement piece, consistent with ARKET's classic color palettes.
Troubleshooting
The beanie has developed small fuzzy balls (pilling) on the surface.
This is normal for alpaca blends. Use a sweater stone or fabric shaver to gently remove pilling without pulling the fibers.
The beanie feels slightly stretched after extended wear.
Gently hand wash the item in cold water and lay it flat to dry. This typically allows the natural fibers to contract back to their original shape.
