FAQs
Is the alpaca-wool blend itchy?
Alpaca fiber is known for being softer and less irritating than standard sheep wool, though individual sensitivity can vary.
Can I put this beanie in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine agitation and heat can damage the delicate alpaca fibers; hand washing is the safest method.
Does the beanie come in different sizes?
The beanie is designed as a one-size-fits-most adult garment, featuring a flexible rib-knit that adapts to various head shapes.
How do I store the beanie during summer?
Store it clean and dry in a breathable fabric bag or drawer away from direct sunlight and moths to prevent fiber degradation.
Will this beanie keep me warm in extreme sub-zero temperatures?
While highly insulating, it is best suited for general winter conditions. For extreme arctic conditions, consider layering with a hood.
Troubleshooting
Small lint or pills appearing on the surface
Use a specialized fabric shaver or a sweater comb to gently remove surface pilling.
Beanie has lost its shape after washing
Re-dampen the item slightly, reshape it carefully while flat, and allow it to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This beanie requires no setup out of the package; simply adjust the brim to your preferred depth upon putting it on. It is highly compatible with most winter wardrobes, matching perfectly with both neutral outerwear and vibrant accessories. To ensure longevity, always hand wash in cool water using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid wringing the fabric; instead, gently press excess water out with a towel and lay the beanie flat on a drying rack to maintain its shape. Do not tumble dry, as the heat can cause the natural fibers to felt and shrink.
