JANKA Women’s Chunky Yarn Beanie 02 Black Nitkowe Love

JANKA is a thick winter beanie with an extended back, hand-knitted from 100% wool for autumn and winter. This model is ready to ship, so it can be sent without waiting for it to be made.

Black and oversized for the colder months

This style is for you if you are looking for a beanie with a clear oversized shape and no turn-up brim. JANKA has a smooth surface with a slight halo and a deep black colour that pairs easily with a winter jacket or coat. With this amount of volume, it works best on colder days, also as a gift beanie.

100% wool and skin contact

This is a wool beanie made from 100% wool. This type of knit holds warmth well, and wool also keeps warm when there is moisture in the air. This model may be noticeable on the forehead for very sensitive skin. The yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, which means it has been tested for harmful substances.

Extended back and single rib knit

JANKA is a beanie without a turn-up brim, with a more relaxed extended back and a distinct vertical single rib pattern. The large, clearly defined stitches give this chunky yarn beanie its character and make it look fuller than finer knits. If you need a different size, please contact us.

• The dense, generously sized knit traps a lot of air, so the beanie works well in winter and in low temperatures.
• The single rib helps the beanie keep its shape and offers a better fit than a flat knit with little stretch.
• The oversized shape with an extended back gives a more relaxed look and does not create a short, high line above the neck.
• No turn-up brim means a single layer across the forehead, but the beanie still has substantial volume, so it may take up more space under a close-fitting hood.
• Moderate resistance to pilling means the surface of the knit may change slightly over time with regular friction.
• The deep black shade and even colour make this version easy to wear with an everyday wardrobe.

Extras and care for the black beanie

Aga makes models like this throughout the year to keep some on hand, so during the season we have a wide selection of handmade pieces ready to ship; see also other ready-to-ship handmade wool pieces. There is an eco-leather Nitkowe Love label on the side.

Wool should be hand washed in water up to 30°C using a gentle wool detergent, for example SOAK wash — Aga washes her own beanies in it and recommends it from experience.
