| 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 NANA beanie is a handmade, medium-weight beanie with an extended back, made from 100% soft Baby Merino wool. It was designed for the autumn and winter season with sensitive skin in mind. To check whether a particular piece is ready to ship or made to order, click your chosen size.
When this beanie is a good choice
This style works well if you are looking for a smooth, flexible merino wool beanie without a turn-up, one that wraps the head well on colder days without feeling like a bulky, heavy winter hat. Thanks to the extended back, it suits everyday wear when you want an easy, slightly slouchy look. It may also work well for people who often find classic wool uncomfortable. If you need a very thick, extra fluffy beanie for severe frost, or a structured style that fits closely to the head with no looseness at all, a different shape may be worth considering.
How Baby Merino feels against the skin
The beanie is made from 100% Baby Merino with a smooth surface and no halo, which helps reduce the typical itchiness known from many wool knits. When choosing this yarn, I pay attention to the fineness of the fibres and how they behave in everyday wear, which is why this style is often chosen by people with sensitive skin or those not used to wool. The yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I, confirming its safety for use, including in products worn close to the skin.
Shape and fit
This is a classic beanie without a turn-up, with a clearly extended back that falls into its characteristic soft slouch when worn. The rib stitch makes the knit springy and helps it adapt to the shape of the head while keeping its intended form. The medium-weight yarn, combined with the stretch of the knit, also makes the beanie easier to wear comfortably with glasses or over-ear headphones. It is worth keeping in mind that this style is intentionally not stiff – it will always fall softly at the back.
How it behaves in everyday wear
- Medium-weight Baby Merino wool – gives noticeable warmth on autumn and winter days without the feel of a heavy, overwhelming hat.
- Rib stitch throughout – increases flexibility and helps the beanie fit the head better, reducing the risk of it slipping during movement.
- Smooth knit surface without fuzz – makes skin contact more comfortable and may feel easier to wear for people prone to irritation than wool with a more noticeable halo.
- Open, slouchy beanie shape – leaves room to arrange hair at the back of the head under the beanie, but will not suit those expecting a very close fit all around.
- Hand-knitted – gives an even but not rigid structure, so the beanie moves naturally in wear and adapts better to everyday use.
- Moderate resistance to pilling – light pilling may naturally appear, especially with frequent wear under a hood or in contact with rough fabrics.
- Hand wash in lukewarm water – helps limit felting and shrinkage, so it is worth following the advice in the guide: wool care.
Details and matching accessories
I finish the beanie with an eco-leather label that can be removed for washing, which makes care easier and helps keep the accessory looking neat. If you would like a beanie with pom-pom in the same colour and made from the same yarn, simply add the pom-pom to your basket when placing the order. You can also choose a matching scarf, snood, shawl or other pieces from the same category to complete the set – you will find them here: matching shawls, wraps and snoods. This kind of combination helps create a cohesive set for the colder months.
