THIS BEANIE hat has a slouchy fit and
would suit both men and women, with
its two-colour stranded design inspired
by Scandinavian motifs. The knitted
fabric has a wonderfully soft feel,
thanks to the use of Alpaca Tweed yarn
from The Border Mill. It’s a gorgeous
worsted-weight pure alpaca that’s
spun in the Scottish Borders; the palette
blends natural and hand-dyed alpaca
fibre for a tweedy effect, and there is a
wide range of colours to choose from
