| 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 is a handmade 100% Baby Merino beanie in a medium weight for autumn and winter, with a turned-up brim and a smooth, non-fuzzy finish. You can check availability by clicking on the size — this will show whether the beanie is ready to ship or made to order.
For everyday wear and the colder months
This style works well if you are looking for a merino wool beanie for regular wear through the autumn and winter season, without too much bulk and without a fluffy finish. The fuchsia colour makes a clear statement, so it is a good option if you like a stronger colour accent. It is suited to those who want calm contact between the material and the skin, along with the familiar fit of a beanie. If you need a very thick hat for hard frost or something completely neutral in colour, it is better to consider a different style.
Yarn and how it feels to wear
I used 100% Baby Merino — a merino yarn chosen with wear close to the skin in mind. The smooth knit without fluff gives a more refined finish and does not create a fuzzy surface at first contact.
It is still natural wool, so it needs proper care — you can find a short guide here: wool care.
A shape that sits well without too much stiffness
The beanie shape with a turned-up brim gives a settled, close-fitting look around the forehead and ears, while the top stays softly shaped. This cut works well for everyday wear and does not need any special styling. In my experience, a single rib moves naturally with the head, so this style behaves better in regular wear than hats with a stiffer structure. If you prefer a very loose fit or a fully close fit without a beanie shape, it is worth keeping that in mind before choosing.
What this means in everyday use
- 100% Baby Merino – the beanie offers the natural comfort of wool without added fibres.
- Medium weight – suitable for cool autumn and winter days without the feel of a heavy, very bulky hat.
- Smooth knit surface without fluff – gives the whole piece a cleaner look and makes it easy to pair with different outerwear.
- Suitable contact with sensitive skin – a good direction if standard wool can sometimes feel problematic around the forehead and ears.
- Turned-up brim – adds an extra layer of knit around the ears and forehead, which improves the feeling of coverage in colder weather.
- Single rib stitch – helps the beanie adapt better during wear and keeps its beanie character without stiffness.
- Handmade on a knitting machine and Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified – you receive a style made from controlled yarn, with an emphasis on consistency and material safety.
Possible additions
If you would like a different finish, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn colour for this style. You can also pair it with matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you are looking for a set with a similar material and seasonal feel.
