What if I want to exchange?
Don't be ashamed of that! The hats are hand-knitted and heads are different, so there's always a chance that there's no match.
If you want to make an exchange, just send us an email at admin@coffeebeanies.dk. You will then receive a mailing label so you don't have any costs or hassle.
The importance
Our Sky Beanie - the knitters' first product. Their way out of extreme poverty. Every time you buy from us, you're ensuring the survival of a hardworking Burundian family trying to make a living as coffee farmers. But it takes our help when we're talking about the world's poorest country (2022).
When a knitter makes a hat a week, she doubles the family's income. The fastest knitter can make two hats a day.
Beautiful and climate-friendly
Our fluffy alpaca wool blend is exactly how we want it to be. Fluffy enough to snuggle up in on those early mornings. For the first 4 years, we bought yarn for the knitters through Danish wholesalers. Gradually, we found that brushed wool in alpaca was exactly what we were looking for. Alpaca is the best wool source. It is gentle in its environment, drinks very little water and eats only the outer twigs over a large area. The wool is the most temperate wool of all. So it's perfect for our changeable weather. At the same time, it holds water up to 40% of its own weight without losing its ability to keep you warm. We added the 18% recycled polyamide to ensure that the hat can withstand endless use and stay firm and beautiful. When we started building our own yarn a few years later, we were the first in Denmark to introduce brushed wool with recycled polyamide.
The beanie is so beautiful in fresh on-time colors that you don't need to buy a new winter coat for every new winter season.
We are a slowfashion brand: higher quality; timeless designs, smaller production and no machines.

Washing instructions
