Full size guide →The men's grey beanie, a colour blended before the yarn
Heather grey is not obtained by dyeing the finished knit. Fibres of different shades are blended before spinning, then spun together: the yarn already contains several greys, from light to almost black. The colour of this men's grey beanie is therefore built into the material, not laid on its surface. It gains a depth a plain grey does not reach, and it ages better: where a plain grey ends up going shiny at the rubbing points, the blended shade keeps blurring the eye.
- Material: 100% wool, knitted

- Detail: colour built before the yarn
- Detail: better ageing

How to wear a men's grey beanie
Care
Machine washable at home: hand wash cold, or wool cycle at 30 °C (86 °F) with a wool detergent. Do not rub or wring: press out the water, roll it in a towel, then dry flat, reshaped. Store folded, away from light, with cedar.
A grey that goes with everything
It is the piece you stop questioning once you own it. Heather grey goes with black, navy, camel and khaki. Over a dark coat, it lightens the silhouette where a black beanie would weigh it down; on natural tones, camel, ecru or khaki, it links things without ever clashing. It also hides light marks, and so is washed less often than a plain grey.
Patina and durability
In three years, this heather grey won't have gone shiny.
Heather grey is not dyed afterwards: fibres of several greys are blended before spinning. The colour is in the material. That is why it ages better: where a plain grey goes shiny at the rubbing points, this one keeps its depth. Knitted in Scotland. Here is how.
-
firm material, solid color, clean finishes.
-
the piece softens where it works the most.
-
wear creases mark themselves and return from one wear to the next.
-
follow the composition instructions; excessive heat and tumble dryers are to be avoided.
-
borders and friction zones soften first.
-
the color shades with use, without aging all at once.
-
the piece is made: supple, familiar, always holding.
-
a seam, a button, a snag is mended in the workshop.
-
nearly three years: a well-kept piece gains in character what it loses in newness.
Grey is the absolute neutral: it goes with black, navy, camel and khaki. It is the beanie you never wonder whether it goes with the outfit. It goes with all of them.
Lambswool, angora, one piece
The beanie is knitted in Scotland on hand-operated frames, in a fully fashioned knit: it comes off in one piece, with no joining seam to mark the forehead. Lambswool, the majority, gives hold and resistance; angora brings softness. Its fibre is hollow, which makes angora warmer and lighter than wool alone. The blend breathes and avoids clamminess when you go from outside to inside.
