The cold-weather kit

Build it one layer at a time.

Four pieces cover most of a winter. Start at the top and add a layer as the mornings get colder.

  1. 01 · Beanie

    Start at the top.

    A short merino fisherman for every day, or a chunky hand-knit for the coldest walks.

  2. 02 · Scarf

    Close the gap at the collar.

    A long merino rib that wraps twice, or an oversized chunky knit you can tuck in.

    Shop scarves

  3. 03 · Sweater

    Add the warm middle.

    Fine merino under a coat, or a heavy aran cable that works as the outer layer on a dry day.

    Shop sweaters

  4. 04 · Jacket

    Finish with a knit jacket.

    Shawl collars, chore pockets and sherpa linings, heavy enough to wear as outerwear.

Our standard

Nothing makes the line that won't last a winter.

Exact fiber content on every product page, measured sizes where we have them, and care notes that fit the fiber.

Fiber, spelled out

Every piece lists its exact fiber content. 100% merino means 100% merino.

Measured, not guessed

Width, height and cuff depth for our beanies, so you know where one sits before it arrives.

Care that fits the fiber

Wool, cotton and blends each get their own care notes, so a good knit stays good.

Certified wool

Most of our wool beanies use wool certified to the Responsible Wool Standard. It's on each label.

Pick your layer

Four ways in. Start with the one you'll wear most.

The top layer

Beanies

Short fisherman cuts, tall cuffs, slouches and poms, in merino, wool, mohair blends and cotton.

Common questions

Before you order

How do your beanies fit?

Most are one size with natural stretch and fit heads about 54–60 cm around. Each product page lists the measured width, height and cuff depth, and whether the beanie sits above the ear or covers it.

What's the difference between merino and regular wool?

Merino fibers are finer, so they feel soft rather than scratchy against the forehead, and they handle the move from cold outside to warm inside well. Pieces that are 100% merino say so; blends list every fiber.

How do I wash my knitwear?

Wool and merino: hand wash cold with a wool wash, press the water out in a towel and dry flat. Cotton beanies can go in the machine on a gentle cycle. Each product page has the care for that piece.

What is your return policy?

Unworn pieces with tags can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Email support@simmsknitting.com with your order number to start a return.
