JANKA Women's Chunky Yarn Beanie 121 Rubinowy Nitkowe Love

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

Ruby JANKA for colder days

This is a good choice if you are looking for a chunky yarn beanie with a looser, oversized shape. The generous amount of knit fabric and the defined single rib make this style work well in winter outfits and at lower temperatures. The deep ruby-burgundy shade is rich without being bright. It also makes a good gift.

Wool and how it feels on the skin

This is a wool beanie made from pure sheep’s wool, with no added fibres. This kind of knit traps air well, which is why a warm winter beanie like this works best when it is properly cold. Sheep’s wool has a thicker fibre than merino or alpaca, so on very sensitive skin it may be noticeable on the forehead. 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 no folded brim. Its shape is based on a tall, defined rib and an extended back. This gives the beanie a looser, more relaxed shape instead of a close fit all around the head. Aga selects styles for sale throughout the year, which is why so many of our handmade beanies are available ready to ship. If you need a different size, please contact us.

• The generous amount of wool knit traps plenty of air, so the beanie gives good warmth in winter and in frosty weather.
• The single rib creates a clear vertical texture and helps the beanie keep its shape without a folded brim.
• The extended back creates a looser oversized fit, so the overall look is not that of a short, close-fitting hat.
• The lack of a folded brim reduces the extra layer at the forehead, though the beanie still has substantial volume overall.
• In a very mild autumn, this style may simply feel too warm.
• Medium resistance to pilling means the surface may change slightly over time with regular wear.
• The smooth knit with a slight halo and the ruby-burgundy colour show off the wide, clearly visible stitches well.
