| 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. |
VARELLA Beanie is a merino wool beanie in a medium weight, made from 100% Baby Merino, with a turn-up cuff and a smooth knit surface. You can check availability by clicking on the size — there you will see whether the beanie is ready to ship or made to order.
What conditions and needs it suits
This style works well in autumn and winter when you need an everyday beanie without extra bulk and with a more tidy, structured look. The navy colour is understated, so it pairs easily with both urban and outdoor clothing. It is a good option for those looking for a wool beanie for regular wear, but without a fluffy texture. If you need a hat mainly for severe frost or very technical outdoor activity, it is worth keeping in mind that this is a medium-weight model.
Yarn and feel in wear
I used 100% Baby Merino, a merino yarn chosen with contact with sensitive skin in mind. The knit is smooth, without a fuzzy finish, and the yarn itself is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, which confirms it has been tested for harmful substances.
As with any wool, its longevity and appearance depend to a large extent on proper care — this beanie requires gentle wool care and hand washing.
A shape that sits well on the head
This is a turn-up beanie style, but also close-fitting, so it does not create a very loose, slouchy effect. The cuff gives a neater line around the forehead and ears, and the overall shape holds its form better in daily wear. The single rib knit supports a flexible fit, but the final look is closer to a classic fitted beanie than to an oversized one.
What this means in everyday wear
- 100% Baby Merino – the beanie may be a good option for people who do not get on well with rougher wools.
- Medium weight – gives coverage for the autumn-winter season without feeling very heavy or bulky on the head.
- Smooth knit surface without fuzz – makes it easier to pair with different outerwear and gives a calmer, cleaner look.
- Turn-up cuff – adds coverage in the lower part of the hat and helps it stay in place during wear.
- Single rib stitch – supports elasticity, so the beanie adapts better to the shape of the head.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – allows for an even, consistent knit while keeping the character of handmade work.
- Moderate resistance to pilling – with regular wear, natural signs of fibre movement may appear over time.
Matching accessories
If you would like to add a matching pom-pom for your beanie to the VARELLA style, you can choose one made from the same yarn as the beanie in a coordinated colour. You may also want to see the matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you are looking for a set in natural fibres with a similar feel.
