| I do my best to show the colours as accurately as possible in the photos, but sometimes my phone has its own ideas ;) Please remember that shades may also look slightly different depending on your screen settings. If I have added several photos, it is worth looking at all of them together for the best colour reference. |

When this beanie is a good choice
NANA 02 Ecru works well if you are looking for a smooth, flexible merino beanie that wraps the head without feeling bulky or overly fluffy. The neutral ecru shade pairs easily with different jackets and coats without dominating the outfit. The medium-weight knit and no turn-up offer a practical balance between everyday warmth and avoiding overheating during a more active day. It may not be the best option if you need an extremely thick beanie for long periods outdoors in very hard frost without much movement.
Material and feel against the skin
The beanie is made from 100% Baby Merino with a smooth knit surface and no halo, which helps reduce the prickly feel sometimes associated with some wool. Baby merino is one of the gentler types of merino, and the yarn used is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 Class I, confirming its safety also for contact with sensitive skin. Because of this, the style may also work well for people who are usually cautious about wool products.
Shape and how it sits on the head
This is a classic elongated beanie without a turn-up, hand-knitted on needles in a simple rib stitch. The elastic structure helps it adjust to the head circumference, while the longer back falls softly for a relaxed but still tidy look. Worn in the standard way, the beanie covers the ears and forehead line without strong pressure, making it a good option for those who do not like very close-fitting, stiff shapes.
How this beanie performs in everyday wear
- Medium-weight knit – gives noticeable warmth in autumn and winter temperatures without creating a very bulky layer on the head.
- Single-layer rib knit – helps the beanie adapt to different head sizes and stay in place during movement.
- Smooth surface without halo – reduces the risk of discomfort for sensitive skin and sits well under a hood or helmet.
- Moderate pilling resistance – with regular daily wear, a light fuzz may appear over time, especially where it rubs against a hood or scarf.
- 02 Ecru colour – light and neutral, it visually brightens the area around the face, but may need a bit more careful care if you want to keep the colour looking especially clean.
- Hand-knitted on needles – each beanie is an individual piece, so there may be slight differences in stitch placement compared with the photos, while the same shape is maintained.
- 100% merino wool composition – responds well to changing temperatures, but requires gentle hand washing according to the rules of wool care.
Possible additions and matching accessories
You can add a matching pom-pom made from the same yarn if you would like a more defined but still cohesive finish in ecru. If you want to put together a full set for the colder season, take a look at the matching shawls, wraps and snoods made from similar yarns, so you can choose neck coverage that suits the way you wear it and the level of warmth you need.
