If I have added several photos, it is worth looking at all of them together for the best colour reference. |
VARELLA is a 100% Baby Merino beanie in a medium weight for autumn and winter, with a turn-up brim and a smooth knit surface without a fuzzy finish. You can check availability by clicking on the size — there you will see whether the beanie is ready to ship or made to order.
What conditions and expectations it suits
This style works well if you are looking for a merino wool beanie for everyday wear on colder days, without unnecessary details and with a soft feel against the skin. It is a good option for those who prefer a more structured, close-fitting beanie with a turn-up brim. The medium weight suits the autumn-winter season well, but if you need very heavy coverage for strong frost and long periods outdoors, it is worth considering a thicker knit. The Old Rose colour has a calm, muted look, so it works better with understated outfits than with very contrasting accessories.
Yarn and how it feels to wear
I used 100% Baby Merino because with beanies worn close to the forehead and ears, the fibre quality has the biggest impact on how the piece feels overall. This yarn has a smooth surface and is suitable for sensitive skin, while the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certificate confirms that it has been tested for harmful substances.
As with any wool, keeping its shape and appearance requires gentle hand washing and proper wool care.
How it sits on the head
This is a close-fitting beanie, handmade on a knitting machine in the VARELLA series, with a turn-up edge. This cut gives a neater, closer fit along the forehead and ears, while the top stays softly shaped without looking stiff. From my experience, with this type of knit and stitch the beanie moves well with the wearer, but if you prefer a very loose, slouchy oversized fit, this model may feel too structured.
What follows from its construction
- 100% Baby Merino – gives a naturally soft feel against the skin, which matters when worn without a lining.
- Medium weight – provides warmth suited to autumn and winter without the feel of a heavy, very bulky beanie.
- Single rib – improves elasticity, helping the beanie fit the head better.
- Turn-up brim – adds an extra layer at the bottom, which practically improves coverage for the forehead and ears.
- Smooth knit surface without fuzz – gives a cleaner visual effect and reduces the impression of fluffiness around the face.
- Pilling resistance: medium – with regular wear, signs of the fibre’s natural behaviour may appear over time.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – helps maintain an even stitch and a neat finish throughout the model.
Matching pieces
If you would like to change the character of the model, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn colour. matching shawls, wraps and snoods also work well if you want a coordinated set for the colder season.
