Ribbed Baby Alpaca Beanie | Camel

The best winter clothes are usually the ones you stop making decisions about.

SSKEIN’s Ribbed Beanie is knitted from 100% baby alpaca in a warm Camel shade that gets along with nearly everything already hanging by the door. The wide rib and midweight knit give it plenty of warmth without unnecessary bulk, while baby alpaca makes an extremely ordinary winter necessity feel almost irresponsibly soft. Fold the cuff up for a classic fit or wear it down when you want a little more length. Either way, this is the hat that ends up on your head because it works with the coat, the sweater, the jeans, the boots, and whatever else you managed to put on before leaving the house. Sometimes versatility is just another word for the thing you actually wear.

About the Brand:  SSKEIN

SSKEIN exists because founder Elisa Yip spent years working in fashion and eventually became considerably less interested in making more of it the usual way. She founded the sustainable knitwear line around natural luxury fibers sourced in South America, particularly baby alpaca, working with Peruvian production partners and designing pieces meant to survive more than a season's worth of opinions about what you're supposed to be wearing. Knitwear is fully fashioned and knitted to shape, which helps minimize leftover material, while the alpaca itself is sourced from vendors using certified ethical shearing processes. The result is quiet, beautifully made clothing where the luxury comes mostly from the material and construction rather than somebody putting a conspicuous logo on your forehead.
