Product Information
Full details
The ARKET Alpaca-Wool Blend Beanie is a signature winter accessory designed for adults seeking a balance of warmth and sophisticated style. Crafted with a premium alpaca-wool blend, this chunky rib-knit hat provides a soft, fuzzy texture that feels comfortable against the skin while offering excellent thermal regulation. While it excels in both style and function, the delicate nature of the alpaca fibers means it requires careful maintenance to ensure it remains in pristine condition over many seasons.

FAQs
How should I store the beanie during the off-season?
Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable garment bag, and include a natural cedar or lavender sachet to deter moths.
Is this hat machine washable?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it will damage the alpaca fibers; always hand wash in cold water.
Will this beanie cause skin irritation?
While the alpaca blend is notably soft, those with high sensitivities to wool products should wear it over a light base layer if irritation occurs.
Can I tumble dry the beanie?
Never tumble dry this beanie. High heat will shrink the wool and ruin the texture of the fabric.
Is the red color prone to fading?
The garment is color-fast, but like all natural fibers, it should be kept away from harsh, direct sunlight when drying to maintain color vibrancy.
Troubleshooting
The beanie has developed light pilling after significant wear.
Gently use a fabric shaver or a dedicated wool comb to remove pills without pulling on the base fibers.
The hat feels slightly stretched out after long-term use.
Hand wash in cool water and reshape it while damp before laying it flat to dry to restore its original tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for the ARKET beanie; it is ready to wear immediately. Compatibility-wise, it serves as a neutral, stylish foundation for a wide range of winter outerwear, from minimalist wool coats to casual parkas. To maintain the quality of the garment, avoid machine washing. Instead, hand wash the beanie in cool water using a detergent specifically formulated for wool or delicate fibers. Lay the item flat on a clean towel to dry, ensuring it stays out of direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause the fibers to felt or lose their shape.
