The Mulberry Park Silks cashmere and wool beanie with a pure silk lining is the cold-weather accessory your winter routine has been missing. Designed to protect hair, pamper skin, and deliver luxurious warmth without bulk, this is the winter hat reinvented—with real silk as the star. This is the winter hat that loves your hair back.
Key Takeaways
- Silk Is the Secret — Our 100% mulberry silk lining reduces friction, prevents breakage, eliminates hat hair, and protects delicate skin.
- Better Than Satin-Lined Hats — Unlike polyester satin options, real silk is breathable, moisture-balancing, naturally hypoallergenic, and gentle on hair and skin.
- Premium Outer Fibers — A luxurious 70% Merino Wool / 30% Cashmere knit delivers warm, lightweight comfort with natural odor resistance—perfectly paired with pure silk.
The Beanie Where Silk Comes First
Silk is naturally smooth, breathable, temperature-regulating, and moisture-balancing. It allows hair to glide effortlessly, minimizing breakage, frizz, tangles, and dryness. For textured hair, curls, extensions, braids, and delicate or damaged strands, silk is the clear winner—and the only material proven to protect hair from friction-related stress.
Full Silk Coverage Where It Matters Most
Many lined beanies stop their lining several inches above the forehead, leaving rough fibers against your skin and hairline. Our beanieis engineered differently. The silk lining is sewn to extend approximately ¼ inch from the edge of the hat, ensuring that the moment the beanie touches your forehead, you are touching silk—not wool, not cashmere, and definitely not synthetic satin.
This construction detail matters. It means:
• No irritated skin along the hairline
• No friction from wool on delicate baby hairs
• No dryness or static, where most hats cause damage
• Complete, uninterrupted silk protection beneath the entire cap
Why Pure Silk Outperforms Satin-Lined Options
Here’s what sets real silk apart:
- Satin = polyester — It traps heat and moisture, often leading to sweat, itchiness, and irritation.
- Silk = natural protein fiber — Breathable, soothing, and gentle on skin and hair.
- Silk reduces friction by 34% (independent lab-tested), helping retain style and prevent breakage.
- Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mold, and bacteria.
- Silk balances moisture rather than stripping it like wool or trapping it like polyester.
In short, satin-lined beanies soften the blow, but a silk-lined beanie completely transforms the experience.
Top Benefits of a Pure Silk-Lined Winter Hat
- Reduces friction to help prevent breakage, frizz, and hair thinning.
- Protects delicate curls, coils, extensions, and braids without flattening or snagging.
- Breathable and temperature-regulating for all-day comfort without overheating.

Why We Chose a 70% Merino Wool and 30% Cashmere Exterior
Once we perfected the silk lining, we built the exterior to match its performance. Our blend of70% Merino Wool and 30% Cashmere delivers exceptional softness, breathability, and warmth without bulk—an ideal pairing for the silk beneath.
Why Merino Wool?
Merino wool is unlike traditional wool. Its ultra-fine fibers make it soft and comfortable rather than scratchy. Merino naturally:
- regulates temperature to prevent overheating
- absorbs moisture vapor while remaining dry to the touch
- offers natural antimicrobial and odor-resistant properties
- stretches and rebounds, helping the beanie hold its shape beautifully
These qualities make Merino wool ideal for daily wear and for pairing with silk, which thrives in breathable, temperature-stable environments.
Why Add 30% Cashmere?
Cashmere brings next-level softness and lightness to this winter essential. It adds:
- a luxuriously soft hand-feel
- warmth without heaviness
- moisture-absorbing fibers that reduce scalp humidity
- a refined, polished appearance
When combined with Merino wool, cashmere creates the perfect outer shell: warm, breathable, fresh-feeling, and elegantly lightweight.
Top Material Benefits of Our Merino Wool & Cashmere Blend
- Ultra-soft feel — fine fibers that never itch or irritate.
- Lightweight insulation with exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio.
- Natural odor resistance thanks to Merino’s antimicrobial properties.
- Breathable & moisture-regulating for all-day comfort.
- Durability and resilience to maintain shape and fit.
- Perfect pairing with silk for a high-performance, luxurious interior + exterior combination.
