Soft and springy; not too tight, loose, thick, thin or dense. Couldn’t be happier!
It’s been cold in the wee hours of spring but I need to keep the window above/behind the bed open. My ears have become very sensitive and I got this alpaca watch cap to slip on and pull down over my ears and eyes as well, as a sort of blindfold, as my husband has to get up very early in the morning for work. So, this serves a triple purpose to help keep me warm, protect my ears, and shield my eyes from the light while I’m trying to get some more sleep.<br /><br />I was concerned that this would be too tight or too thick, making me feel suffocated. This is not at all the case as for my preference, the yarns are just the right diametre, the knit just the right density, and the fabric cut to just the right size. I would never wear synthetic and chose alpaca over other natural fibres for its inherent springiness as well as softness. The knit is looser than say cashmere, which was another big factor. If you’ve worn alpaca as well as wool and cashmere knits you might know what I mean.<br /><br />I don’t wear hats/caps like this in public (just not really my style), but if I did, I’d be pleased with the fact that though it’s not at all tight, on my medium/large adult female head, it’s also not that baggy look favoured by many young people these days.<br /><br />Super-happy I chose this one over the many others available. :) It would be lovely if more colours were offered as they’d make nice gifts.
