This handsome beanie is hand-knitted from the luxurious fleece of Shaggy, one of our most beloved Siri alpacas here on the farm. Shaggy is a total crowd-pleaser—famous for his soft, friendly nature and his signature “Eskimo kisses” (those gentle nose nuzzles) that he happily dishes out to farm guests who stop by his pasture.
The yarn is a cozy blend of 85% alpaca (sourced directly from Shaggy’s own fleece) and 15% Merino wool, combining the incredible warmth, softness, and lightweight feel of alpaca with just a touch of Merino’s added durability and slight elasticity for better shape retention.
The hat features a beautiful open, airy knit stitch pattern that gives it a lightweight yet surprisingly insulating structure—perfect for crisp fall days or layering in winter without feeling bulky. Its classic slouchy silhouette has a nicely folded cuff for adjustable fit and extra coziness around the ears. The natural camel/tan shade comes straight from Shaggy’s gorgeous fleece—no dyes needed—resulting in a rich, earthy tone that’s versatile and timeless.
It’s not just a warm hat; it’s a little piece of farm love, crafted from a friendly alpaca who’s as huggable as the finished piece feels on your head. Wear it proud—Shaggy would approve (and probably try to nuzzle it right off you)! 🧶🦙
