FAQs
Can I put this beanie in the washing machine?
It is highly recommended to hand wash only. Machine washing can cause the wool to shrink or felt, damaging the soft texture.
Is this beanie itchy?
Thanks to the high alpaca content, this beanie is significantly softer and less irritating than standard sheep wool, though individual sensitivity can vary.
Does the beanie come in different sizes?
The beanie is designed with a stretchy rib-knit construction that fits most adult head sizes comfortably.
Can I wear this while it is snowing?
Wool retains heat even when damp, making it suitable for light snow, but you should let it air dry thoroughly if it becomes soaked.
How should I store the beanie during summer?
Store it clean in a breathable cloth bag to protect it from dust and potential moths, keeping it in a cool, dry place.
Are there matching accessories?
ARKET often releases seasonal items in the same material and color palette, which can be checked on their official website.
Troubleshooting
Minor pilling appearing on the surface
Use a specialized wool comb or fabric shaver gently to remove surface pills without pulling on the yarn.
Beanie feels slightly stretched out
Gently dampen the beanie, reshape it to its original form on a flat surface, and let it air dry naturally.
Accidental exposure to high heat
Avoid high heat at all costs. If shrunk, soak in lukewarm water with a small amount of fabric conditioner and gently stretch back to shape while damp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This beanie requires no setup out of the packaging. It is a one-size-fits-most accessory compatible with a wide range of adult head sizes due to the natural elasticity of the rib-knit weave. To care for your beanie, it is recommended to hand wash it in cool water using a wool-specific detergent. Always lay the item flat to dry on a clean towel away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent shrinkage and fiber damage. Avoid hanging the beanie, as this can stretch the knit over time.
