| 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. |
A thin-to-medium weight handmade beanie with an elongated back, made from 100% Baby Merino wool. It works well as a transitional merino beanie for autumn and milder winter days. Availability for each size (ready to ship or made to order) is shown after you click the selected option.
When this beanie is a good choice
The NANA style in colour 34 Heather is for those looking for a smooth, springy beanie without a turn-up, one that covers the ears and back of the head well without feeling heavy. The medium-weight knit and elongated back make it a practical option for cool autumn and winter days when you want warmth, but not a very thick hat. If you are looking for a very fluffy, deep-winter beanie or a close-fitting style, this shape may feel too light or too relaxed.
Baby Merino wool and how it feels on the skin
The beanie is made from 100% Baby Merino with Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, Class I certification, which confirms the fibre has been tested for harmful substances. The smooth yarn, without a fuzzy surface, and its soft handle make skin contact gentle and suitable also for people who are sensitive to the typical “itch” of wool. With very reactive scalp skin, however, individual discomfort is still possible, so it is worth considering your previous experience with merino beanies.
The beanie shape and how it sits on the head
This is a classic merino beanie without a turn-up, with a clearly elongated back. The rib stitch all over (single rib) gives the knit elasticity, so the beanie adapts to the head circumference while keeping a lightly slouchy back. Since there is no folded brim, the height comes entirely from the crown length, so this style tends to sit better on heads that suit a softer, more relaxed fit rather than a very firm, structured one.
What this style offers in everyday wear
- Medium-weight knit – gives noticeable warmth in autumn and winter temperatures without creating a bulky layer on the head.
- All-over rib stitch – works like a natural spring, helping the beanie stay in place better and shift less during everyday movement.
- Elongated back – helps cover the ears and nape while creating the characteristic slightly slouchy beanie shape.
- Smooth, non-fuzzy surface – makes it less likely to catch on zips or hook-and-loop fasteners and makes it easier to pull a hood over the beanie.
- Suitable contact for sensitive skin – the soft Baby Merino structure reduces the typical scratchiness of wool, which can matter during longer wear through the day.
- Medium resistance to pilling – with normal use, the knit keeps its neat appearance, though small pills may appear over time in areas exposed to frequent friction.
- Hand-knitted – each piece is made individually, which supports even stitch tension and a more stable shape during wear.
Extras and care
You can add a matching pom-pom in the same yarn to this style if you would like to vary the look of a classic beanie. If you want to create a coordinated set in the same heather shade around the neck, take a look at the matching shawls, scarves and snoods in the same category. Because of the fibre content, the beanie requires gentle wool care; careful hand washing and drying flat help the knit keep its shape and structure for longer.
