Why choose hats and scarves in merino wool?
Merino wool is one of the best materials for winter clothing. Its properties make the pieces warm and breathable at once. For winter that means they:
- regulate temperature: merino wool protects against the cold while moving moisture away, so you don’t overheat;
- are soft and gentle: for most people merino hats don’t itch, which makes them worth a look if your skin is sensitive;
- hold on to odours far less: merino pieces can be worn longer without constant washing.
Alpaca headbands and hats – a lovely extra for winter
Merino isn’t the only wool worth attention. Alpaca, known for its softness and resilience, is an excellent material for winter accessories. At BerryBoat you will find both alpaca headbands and hats that are good-looking and practical at once. Alpaca headbands make a good alternative to a hat – lighter but just as warm, and they keep cold wind off your ears.
Other yarns – warm and hard-wearing
Krash isn’t a crash but a high-quality Italian yarn: 5 % alpaca (yes, those charming animals from the Andes), 10 % wool, 10 % viscose (that is, from a renewable raw material, cellulose) and 75 % acrylic for durability. Thanks to that blend it goes in the washing machine.

How to style hats, scarves and headbands in winter
Winter accessories can be more than practical – they can carry a whole outfit. A few ideas:
- Pompom hat and a long scarf: the combination for anyone who likes a casual, city look. A hat with a good pompom sits well with a long scarf you can wind round your neck several times.
- Alpaca headband: a lovely alternative to a hat. It works with an elegant coat or jacket and suits the milder winter days.
- Snood and hat: the snood is the right call on windy days. Together with a merino hat it makes a set that keeps the cold out all round.
