Hand‑Knitted Angora Wool Beanie Cap for Men & Women

Product Details

A true Himalayan winter essential

When winter bites and snow blankets the peaks, ordinary caps won’t do. This beanie is crafted from pure Angora rabbit wool, hand‑knitted by skilled women artisans from remote Kullu villages. The result is a cap that feels incredibly soft against the skin, traps heat efficiently, and stays light enough for daily wear, travel, or long evenings outdoors.

Angora is prized for its very fine, fluffy fibers and a unique, halo‑like softness. It is much warmer and lighter than regular wool because its fibers have a hollow core that traps air, giving the fabric remarkable insulation without heaviness.
This makes Angora beanies excellent for harsh winter days, cold mountain breezes, or snowy nights around a campfire—exactly the conditions many buyers face in the Himalaya and similar climates.

Crafted with care, supporting local women

Every beanie is hand‑made, not factory‑produced. This supports the livelihood of women in remote Himalayan villages, keeps traditional knitting skills alive, and ensures each cap has slight, beautiful variations—no two are perfectly identical. The design is unisex, making it a versatile pick for men and women, and an ideal gift for trekkers, students, travelers, or anyone who battles cold weather.

Why choose this cap over other winter hats?

1. Superior warmth without bulk
   Thanks to Angora’s hollow fibers, the cap retains heat extremely well yet remains light—ideal when you need warmth but not a thick, heavy hat.
2. Softness that feels premium
   The fluffy, silky texture of Angora is noticeably gentler than typical sheep wool, making the cap comfortable for long hours.
3. Ethical, craft‑based origin
   Hand‑knitted by women from remote Kullu areas. Buying this supports their income and keeps a traditional craft alive—something mass‑produced caps don’t offer.
4. Unisex and versatile
   Works for both men and women, and suits casual outings, mountain travel, and gifting. It’s not tied to a single style or age group.

Tradeoffs to mention honestly

• Care needs attention: Angora can felt or mat if treated roughly. Gentle hand washing is required, and harsh machines or hot water should be avoided.
• Availability and natural variation: Because it’s hand‑made in small batches, color tones or exact knit patterns may vary slightly, and stock can be limited.
