Creme Roots Kippah – Cotton Yarmulke

The Creme Roots Kippah is a four-panel cream brocade-style yarmulke for men and boys, offered in 8 sizes (dome sizes 1 to 6 plus 16cm and 18cm flat) at $9.99. The crown is a sand-cream woven cloth crossed by a network of pale, slightly glinting lines that branch like tree roots or coral, and the pattern runs right over the seams. The rim is a narrow band of the same patterned fabric. Inside, the lining is a smooth taupe cloth printed with the iKippah name, the size number and the design name, Cream Roots. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

Specifications

How this compares

Best for

• A chassan's family or wedding party wanting a light, textured kippah
• Summer simchas with a beige, tan or light grey suit
• Fathers and sons matching, from size 1 up to 18cm flat
• Anyone who likes pattern but not a cartoon print

Not the right choice if

• A shul or yeshiva that expects a black kippah
• Rough daily wear at school; a pale woven fabric marks and snags
• You want a soft plain cotton; this cloth is textured and has a slight sheen
• You want a clearly silver kippah; this one is warm cream

Why customers choose it

Cream kippot are usually plain, and that can look flat against a light suit. The roots pattern adds movement: fine, pale lines branch across the whole crown and catch the light, so the kippah looks dressy without any contrast colour. Keeping the rim in the same fabric lets the pattern do the work. It also comes in a wide size run, which is why families pick it for a chassan's brothers or a bar mitzvah boy and his father.

Size guide

Sizing is guidance, not a promise — heads vary. When you are between two sizes, the larger one sits better.

Frequently asked questions

What does the roots pattern look like up close?
It is a web of thin, pale lines that fork and branch like tree roots or coral, woven into a sand-cream cloth. The lines have a slight shine, so the pattern shifts as the light changes.

Is the Creme Roots Kippah cotton or brocade?
It is a woven brocade-style cloth with a slight sheen, like the Silver Roots version. Treat it as a textured woven fabric and spot-clean it rather than washing.

How is it different from the Silver Roots Kippah?
The weave and pattern match; the colour is what changes. Creme Roots is warm sand-cream, while Silver Roots is a cooler grey that sits better with charcoal or navy.

What do the 16cm and 18cm flat sizes mean?
They are flatter, shallower cuts measured across the kippah. 16cm usually suits a teen, 18cm a teen or adult who prefers a flatter kippah over a dome.

What should I wear it with?
It looks right with beige, tan, cream or light grey suits and with a white shirt in summer. Against black it can look pale, so pick a darker roots colour for a black suit.

Can I add a name or wedding date?
Yes. Names and dates can be embroidered with no minimum, which suits wedding and bar mitzvah orders. Allow 10 to 14 days plus shipping.
