Mine isn't a beanie, just kind of a long oblong that I can roll up-quadruple up a self made band to protect my ears. It's not bad shedding a lot of snow (not completely). It is not pure white, it has wool fibres of lavender shot through out... Actually there's even mohair in the hat. Now, when was the last time you saw wool hats made of mohair/cashmere wool???
It has a slightly decorative tight purl knit stitch and the whole hat is fully knitted and completely doubled in layers. I don't worry about wrecking its shape when I stuff it in a clean plastic bag in my purse, knapsack. It washes well by hand.
Because I often have to wear a winter hat for many hrs. outdoors, it must look good on me. So no boring black beanie for me.
