FAQs
Can I put this beanie in the dryer?
No, machine drying can cause the merino wool to felt and shrink significantly. Always air dry flat.
Is this beanie itchy?
No, high-quality merino wool has very fine fibers that are generally soft and comfortable against the skin.
How do I know if this is the right weight for my activity?
The midweight design is best for active pursuits where you need warmth but also high breathability.
Can I wear this under a bike or ski helmet?
Yes, the thin, low-profile seam construction allows it to fit comfortably under most standard-sized helmets.
Does it lose its color in the wash?
If washed in cold water with a wool-safe detergent, the vibrant red color will remain stable.
Troubleshooting
The beanie feels slightly stretched after heavy use.
Wash the item according to care instructions and lay it flat to dry to allow the natural fibers to recover their original shape.
Small lint or pilling appears on the surface.
Use a fabric shaver or a fine-tooth sweater comb to gently remove pills; do not pull on them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This beanie requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear immediately. It is highly compatible with other winter gear, including technical shells, ski goggles, and helmets, thanks to its low-profile seams that prevent friction points. To ensure longevity, follow these care steps:
- Hand Wash Only: Use cool water and a mild detergent specifically formulated for wool.
- Avoid Bleach: Never use chemical bleaches or aggressive fabric softeners.
- Drying: Lay the beanie flat on a towel in a shaded area to air dry; do not wring it out or hang it, as this will stretch the wool fibers.
- Storage: Keep in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
