NANA Beanie in Baby Merino Wool 48 Blush
| 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. |
The classic NANA beanie in 100% Baby Merino is a medium-weight style without a turn-up, with a slightly elongated back, designed for the autumn and winter season. To check whether a specific piece is ready to ship or made to order, select your size on the product page.
When this style is a good choice
This beanie works well if you are looking for a smooth, stretchy knit that wraps the head comfortably without feeling stiff or helmet-like. The medium weight and merino composition make it best suited to colder autumn and winter days, when you want clear warmth without overheating. The elongated back suits those who prefer a relaxed shape rather than a close-fitting cap. If you prefer a very lightweight between-season beanie or a more fitted style with no extra room at the back, this shape may not meet your expectations.
Against the skin and the material
The beanie is made from 100% Baby Merino wool, with a smooth surface and no fuzzy halo, which helps reduce the risk of irritation for sensitive skin. The soft, springy yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 and allows direct contact with the forehead and ears without the typical itchiness often associated with many types of wool. If you are highly sensitive to natural fibres, it is still worth allowing for your skin’s individual reaction.
How it sits on the head
This is a classic beanie without a turn-up, with a slightly elongated back that creates a relaxed, soft drape at the back of the head. The single rib works like a gentle elastic: it adapts to the head circumference while keeping the knit springy. Without a folded brim, there are fewer layers over the ears, which gives a softer feel but does not create as strong a barrier as double-layer styles. Handmade on knitting needles, the beanie holds its shape while still allowing for the natural stretching that comes with wear.
For everyday wear – what this changes
- Medium-weight knit – provides good warmth in typical autumn and winter conditions, while still leaving some room for breathability.
- Single rib throughout – gives a flexible fit around the head, making it easier to wear comfortably for several hours.
- Smooth surface without fuzz – helps prevent snagging on zips and jewellery and may feel more comfortable under a hood or jacket.
- Moderate pilling resistance – keeps a neat appearance with normal use, but it is still best to avoid strong friction against rough parts of your clothing.
- 100% Baby Merino composition – lets you enjoy the everyday benefits of merino wool, as long as it is cared for with gentle hand washing.
- Colour 48 Blush in a brown-toned shade – fits into a calm, muted palette, making it easier to pair with outerwear in warm tones.
- Handmade on knitting needles – gives the knit a slightly more flexible structure than machine-made pieces, helping the beanie adapt naturally to the shape of the head.
Details and ways to complete the set
The beanie is finished with a faux leather tag that can be unclipped for washing, which makes knitwear care easier. If you would like the NANA style as a beanie with pom-pom in the same colour and made from the same yarn, you can add the matching accessory. To complete the set for colder weather, you can choose matching shawls, scarves or snoods in a similar yarn. To help preserve the qualities of merino wool and reduce pilling, it is worth reading the short guide to wool care and using gentle hand washing only.
