A stylish blend of warmth and functionality – inspired by the classic fisherman hat, this fitted beanie covers your ears fully for maximum warmth and the ribbed texture offers maximum comfort. Crafted from premium bio wool from the KNITWIT stable, this beanie is a musthave for cold winter days.

Knitted in a ribbed 2x2 stitch, from a blend of 60% Dutch wool, 20% alpaca and 20% merino wool.
Traditional Dutch sheep have coarser wool fibers, giving them a tougher appearance, while alpaca wool is light, super soft, and strong—making them a perfect match. Wool is elastic, regulates moisture, cools in summer, warms in winter, resists bacteria, and is fire-retardant. Additionally, it grows back each year and is biodegradable.

By paying statiegeld (deposit), which will be refunded at the end of use, you ensure that this item becomes 100% circular and not end up as textile waste. When you add this item to your cart, the statiegeld will automatically be charged.

COLLABORATION: KNITWIT STABLE

The Knitwit Stable shows you why wool should get the appreciation it deserves.
They transform the wool industry, creating a fully bio-circular production chain that honors both traditional techniques and modern-day sustainability. From animal-friendly farming to innovative production, they’re leading by example.

MORE THAN A GARMENT

It’s about connecting with the makers, with the land, and with the materials. Reina OPTs for dutch wool because it’s renewable, resilient, and ready to reshape the future of fashion.
The results? Quality woolen garments that not only feel incredible but also capture everything we stand for at New Optimist—local production, circularity, and the joy of making something meaningful.

NON ITCHY DUTCH WOOL

The Knitwit Stable utilises overlooked local resources by looking for varieties with a lower itch factor,
as well as combining our Dutch wool with other fibers like merino and alpaca.
This mix of fibers allows our products to have the traditional appearance of Dutch wool while adding a level of softness.
