In full winter sun it tends toward silver; under a low sky, it moves closer to stone. The result comes from the spinning: tufts of darker fibre are introduced into the yarn before it is spun. The colour is therefore not laid on the surface of the knit, it is in the material. It is the same principle as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Donegal_tweed\"\u003eDonegal\u003c\/a\u003e tweeds, where small strands of colour, inserted at irregular intervals, give the cloth its heathered look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 100% wool, knitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: made in Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: lively grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: colour in the material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: resistance to shine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA fleck that hides wear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis construction has a direct effect on lifespan. A flat dye ends up going shiny at the rubbing points; the fleck keeps blurring the eye and hides wear. Lighter than a heather grey in the base, the speckled grey is also more contrasted: its dark points stay clearly visible, where a heather stays uniform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKnitted in Scotland, without a seam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beanie is knitted in Scotland on hand-operated frames, in a fully fashioned knit: it comes off in one piece, with no joining seam. No ridge marks the forehead, even under a hood. Lambswool gives hold; \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Angora_wool\"\u003eangora\u003c\/a\u003e, whose hollow fibre traps air, makes it warmer and lighter than wool alone. It is the trapped air that insulates, not the thickness: the beanie stays thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCut and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne size: the elastic rib fits every build, men and women. Its thinness makes it comfortable as a second layer, under a hood, without squeezing the skull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to wear a men's speckled grey beanie\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a heathered wool coat: two different greys work better than an identical grey, the material makes the nuance. Over raw denim, a \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/blouson-jeans-brut\"\u003edenim jacket\u003c\/a\u003e for example, the light grey wakes up the deep blue where a navy beanie would melt away. At the end of the day, cuff down over the ears, when the temperature suddenly drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champ de Manoeuvres","offers":[{"title":"speckled gray","offer_id":40343412572245,"sku":null,"price":46.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/7115\/4005\/files\/bonnet-laine-vintage-gris-mouchete-champ-de-manoeuvres-1-44262113575245.jpg?v=1789671527","url":"https:\/\/champdemanoeuvres.com\/en-us\/products\/mens-speckled-grey-wool-beanie","provider":"Champ de Manoeuvres ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
