JANKA Women’s Beanie in Thick Yarn 53 Light Grey Nitkowe Love

JANKA is a thick winter beanie made from 100% wool, designed for autumn and winter, with a noticeably extended back and a bold, easy-to-see stitch. This beanie is ready to ship — we send it out without any waiting time for making.

A light grey style for colder days

This style works well if you are looking for a warm wool beanie for colder weather and prefer a more defined shape than a classic lightweight beanie. The light grey shade is muted, cool-toned and easy to pair with an everyday jacket or coat. It is also a shape that works well with winter outfits with a looser upper silhouette.

Wool and skin contact

The beanie is hand-knitted on needles from 100% wool. With this kind of yarn, the main focus is warmth and the substantial texture of the knit, which holds plenty of air, so it is a good women’s wool beanie for a distinctly colder season. This style may feel itchy on very sensitive skin. The yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, which means it has been tested for harmful substances.

Oversized, without a turn-up

JANKA has an oversized fit, no turn-up, and is made in a single rib stitch. This gives it a simple overall look, but not a flat one — the vertical stitch definition stands out, while the back remains slightly extended. If you need a different size, please contact us.

• The large stitches and substantial knit hold more air, so this beanie works well as a warm winter hat for colder, frosty days.
• The lack of a turn-up creates one continuous line from the bottom to the top, so the shape looks lighter than classic styles with a wide cuff.
• The single rib helps the beanie fit the head and keeps the characteristic vertical structure of the whole piece.
• The extended back creates a looser oversized shape, so the beanie does not look like a short, close-fitting chunky knit hat.
• With average resistance to pilling, small signs of wear may appear over time in everyday use, which is typical for natural wool.
• The generous volume of the knit gives plenty of coverage, but it may feel less comfortable under a close-fitting hood.

Details and care

Aga makes beanies outside the main season as well, which is why so much of our handmade work is ready to ship straight away; on the side you will find an eco-leather Nitkowe Love brand label. See also other ready-to-ship handmade pieces.

Wool should be washed by hand in water up to 30°C, using a gentle wool detergent; each beanie is washed before shipping and arrives ready to wear.
