HELLI is a handmade merino wool beanie with a turn-up cuff, made from 100% Baby Merino in a medium weight for autumn and winter. Availability depends on the size you choose — click the variant to check whether it is ready to ship or made to order.
When this style is a good choice
This style works well if you are looking for a smooth beanie with a folded cuff for the colder part of the year and want a soft feel against the skin. It is suited to everyday wear in autumn and winter, when you want coverage without a heavy, very bulky shape. Colour 34 Heather combines pink and purple tones, so it works well in outfits where the beanie should be noticeable but not too bold. If you need a hat mainly for deep frost or a very technical outdoor style, it is worth choosing a thicker construction.
Composition and feel against the skin
I used 100% Baby Merino because, with the smooth knit surface and this type of yarn, this style offers a soft, calm feel against the skin. It is also a good option if regular wool is sometimes perceived as too itchy; the yarn also holds the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certificate.
As with any merino wool, the look and durability depend largely on proper care — before washing, it is worth taking a look at the short wool care guide.
How it fits on the head
This is a close-fitting beanie, but it does not feel stiff, so it adjusts well when putting it on and wearing it. The folded cuff defines the line around the forehead and ears, while the beanie shape leaves a slightly elongated, relaxed shape at the top. In practice, this cut suits people who like a hat that sits closer to the head, but without the effect of a tight sporty headband. If you are looking for a very loose, oversized fit, this shape may feel too structured.
Key points in everyday wear
- 100% Baby Merino – offers a soft feel against the skin, so this style also works well for people who are more sensitive to itchiness.
- Medium weight – gives coverage for autumn and winter without the effect of a very heavy, chunky beanie.
- Double ribbing – improves stretch, so the beanie adapts better to the shape of the head.
- Turn-up cuff – adds extra coverage in the lower part, so the forehead and ears are better protected from the cold.
- Smooth surface without a fuzzy halo – gives a cleaner, more defined look and a less fluffy visual effect.
- Hand-knitted – preserves the character of the knit in a way industrial production does not.
- Moderate resistance to pilling – with regular wear, small signs of use may appear over time, as is typical of natural wool.
Extras and matching options
If you would like to change the character of this style, you can choose a ready-to-wear beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn colour. You can also add matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you want a coordinated set for the colder season. The beanie is finished with a removable eco-leather tag, which makes it easier to prepare for hand washing.
