FAQs
Can this beanie be machine washed?
No, it is recommended to hand wash only to prevent the wool from felting or shrinking.
Is the material itchy?
Alpaca wool is known for its soft, cloud-like texture and is significantly less itchy than standard wool, though sensitivity can vary per individual.
Does the blue color fade?
If washed according to instructions and kept out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use, the color will remain vibrant for a long time.
Is this a one-size-fits-all product?
The rib-knit construction allows for natural stretch, making it a flexible one-size fit for most adults.
Can I wear it unfolded?
Yes, the design allows you to unfold the brim for a longer, slouchy look depending on your styling preference.
Troubleshooting
The beanie feels slightly stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific conditioner or detergent. If it stiffens, you can gently shake it out once dry to restore the loft of the fibers.
The fabric has small fuzz balls (pilling).
This is a natural occurrence with high-quality wool. Use a fabric shaver or a sweater stone to gently remove the pills; do not pull them by hand.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ARKET beanie lasts for several seasons, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Hand wash only in cool water using a mild wool-specific detergent. Avoid soaking for extended periods.
- Drying: Never wring out the beanie. Instead, gently press out excess water with a clean towel, then lay it flat on a drying rack away from direct sunlight or radiators to prevent shrinkage and fiber damage.
- Storage: Store your beanie in a cool, dry place. If storing for the off-season, place it in a breathable garment bag with cedar or lavender to protect the wool fibers.
- Maintenance: Use a sweater comb or fabric shaver gently if you notice small pills forming after significant use.
