| 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 style works well
This beanie is a good choice if you are looking for smooth, stretchy knitwear made from natural yarn, with no cuff and a more relaxed back. Its medium weight and 100% Baby Merino composition are suited to conditions from chilly autumn days to a typical city winter. It may be too warm for mild spring temperatures above freezing, and too light for very severe frost and wind without a hood. The neutral beige is a good option if you want a quiet accessory that does not dominate your outfit.
Skin feel and material
The beanie is made from 100% Baby Merino certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, Class I, which means the yarn has been tested for harmful substances and is also suitable for products intended for small children. Its smooth, non-fluffy surface and soft structure support comfort for sensitive skin, reducing the risk of the scratchiness often associated with more rustic wools. If you have a strong individual sensitivity to wool, it is still worth trying it on at home first and checking how your skin reacts.
Fit and shape of the NANA style
This is a classic merino beanie with no cuff and an elongated back that falls slightly behind the head. The ribbed stitch and hand-knitted construction give the beanie natural stretch, so it adapts to the shape of the head without creating stiff folds. With no turn-up cuff, the edge sits directly against the forehead and ears, which is worth bearing in mind if you prefer extra weight or a double layer around the ears. The brown-beige shade works well in a practical everyday wardrobe and does not draw too much attention.
Key points for everyday wear
- Medium-weight knit – gives a clear sense of warmth in autumn and winter without the feel of a heavy, bulky hat.
- Ribbed stitch throughout – allows for a flexible fit around the head, which helps reduce the risk of slipping during movement.
- No cuff and an elongated back – let you wear the beanie higher or lower on the forehead, adjusting how much of the ears are covered depending on the weather.
- Smooth, non-fluffy texture – makes everyday wear easier, as the beanie is less likely to pick up small bits of debris and does not add volume to the hair.
- Moderate resistance to pilling – with frequent wear, light pilling may appear, but this can be limited with gentle handling and hand washing.
- Designed for autumn and winter – works best on cool and cold days, but may be too warm for mild spring temperatures above freezing.
- Certified Oeko-Tex yarn – makes it easier to choose a merino wool accessory consciously if you pay attention to skin-contact materials that have been tested.
Extras, care and matching accessories
You can add a colour-matched pom-pom for your beanie made from the same yarn if you want a more relaxed look. If you are putting together a set for the colder season, take a look at the available matching shawls, wraps and snoods, which can be chosen in a similar beige tone or in a contrasting colour. The longevity and appearance of the beanie depend to a large extent on how it is cared for — detailed guidance can be found in the wool care guide, which explains hand washing, drying flat and avoiding fabric softeners.
