Acrylic vs Wool Beanies

Acrylic Beanies

Beanies made out of acrylic are durable, weather-resistant, + great for retaining heat. Acrylic is essentially a material that is made to mimic thepositive properties of wool. 

Getting your acrylic beanie clean is quick + easy - just turn it inside out + wash it in cold water with colors that are similar. If you dry it with heat it could shrink, so be careful with that. 

Overall, the beanies that are made from acrylic will last you season after season + provide you plenty of warmth while giving you the coolest vibes. 

Wool Beanies

All-natural + oh so cozy, woolbeanies will give you the warmth you need through freezing rain, snow, + sleet. Stay super warm while you’re out in the elements, or just look really cute while you’re inside by the fire when you wear a wool beanie. 

Wool is one of the best materials in the world for hats. Wool does not absorb moisture easily, instead, it pushes it away for you. So when you’re out enjoying the snow, you can do so while staying dry. 

Acrylic + Wool Blend Beanies

Blending fabrics like acrylic + wool gives you the best of both worlds + makesthe warmest knit beanie you’ll ever put on. All the pros of each material are put into one beanie that you can wear with a casual fit, or match with your winter athleisure.
