Pendleton Women's Beanies

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do Pendleton women's beanies typically fit, and what should I pick if I have a small or large head?

  Most Pendleton women's beanies are one-size-fits-most with stretchy ribbed cuffs or turn-back brims that provide a snug, stay-put fit. If you prefer less slouch and a firmer fit, choose ribbed or turn-back styles; for a roomier, slouchy look pick retro or pom styles that sit higher on the crown.
• What’s the difference in warmth and feel between lambswool Pendleton beanies and the 100% acrylic styles?

  Lambswool blends like the Icon Lambswool Pom (80% lambswool/20% nylon) and Cable Knit Beanie (lambswool-rich blends) deliver more natural insulation, breathability, and a softer hand than acrylic. 100% acrylic styles such as the Retro Beanie or National Park Beanie with Pom are lighter, easier to care for, and retain shape and color well, though they typically feel less dense and natural than wool blends.
• Which Pendleton beanies are best for active cold-weather use like trekking versus everyday commuting?

  For active outings and trekking, choose lambswool-blend options or thicker knits like the Cable Knit Beanie or Icon Lambswool Pom, which offer better natural insulation and a secure fit. For daily commuting and casual wear, lighter knits such as the Pendleton Beanie, Glacier Stripe Beanie, or National Park Beanie with Pom give stylish patterns and easy care while still providing cozy warmth.
• How does the Icon Lambswool Pom Beanie compare to the National Park Beanie with Pom?

  The Icon Lambswool Pom Beanie (about 80% lambswool/20% nylon) emphasizes natural warmth, softness, and a loftier feel, making it better for colder, more active use, while the National Park Beanie with Pom is typically 100% acrylic and focuses on bold pattern work, easy care, and stable color retention. Choose the lambswool option for insulation and a premium feel, or the acrylic piece for low-maintenance everyday style.
• What’s the best way to care for Pendleton beanies to keep shape, color, and pom details looking good?

  Follow the garment label, but generally hand wash cold and lay flat to dry or opt for professional dry cleaning for lambswool-rich pieces; avoid hot water and tumble drying which can shrink or distort fibers. Spot-clean acrylic beanies as needed, gently reshape while damp, and store folded (not crushed) to protect poms and brims.
