Ribbed Baby Alpaca Beanie | Iris

Winter has enough gray built into it. Your hat doesn't need to contribute.

SSKEIN’s Ribbed Beanie in Iris, a rich purple that provides a very good reason to stop treating winter accessories like they're required to be practical colors. Knitted from 100% baby alpaca, it’s exceptionally soft, lightweight, and warm, with a wide rib that gives the classic shape a snug, comfortable fit. Fold the cuff up, wear it down for a little extra length, and put it on with the black coat, the camel coat, the denim jacket, or whatever else could use something considerably less predictable happening above the shoulders. The color gets your attention. The baby alpaca is why you'll keep reaching for it.

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.
