| 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. |
VARELLA is a handmade merino wool beanie of medium thickness, designed for autumn and winter, with a distinctive folded brim and a smooth knit surface. You can check availability for this variant after clicking on the size — that is where you will see whether the beanie is ready to ship or made to order.
When this style makes sense
This style works well for those looking for a beanie for colder days, but without a heavy, bulky feel. The bright blue colour makes a clear statement, so it suits outfits where the beanie is meant to be a visible accent rather than a background piece. This shape works well for everyday wear in autumn and winter. If you need a beanie for very severe frost or a highly technical outdoor style, this version may feel too moderate.
Merino against the skin
I used 100% Baby Merino, a yarn chosen for gentler contact with the skin. The smooth knit without a fuzzy surface and a yarn suitable for sensitive skin help reduce the typical discomfort associated with rougher wool; the yarn is also certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.
It is still wool, so it needs careful care: gentle hand washing and proper wool care are recommended.
Shape and fit
This is a close-fitting beanie, made in a single rib stitch, so it moves with the shape of the head instead of creating a stiff, protruding form. The folded brim gives a cleaner line around the forehead and ears, while also giving the whole piece a more classic, balanced look. From experience, this kind of structure works well when the beanie needs to sit securely without constant adjusting. If you prefer a very loose style that slouches at the back, this model is more structured than oversized.
Key points in wear
- 100% Baby Merino – offers a soft feel against the skin, so this model is also a reasonable choice for those who are cautious about wool.
- Medium thickness – gives warmth suited to autumn and winter without the feel of a very heavy beanie.
- Single rib stitch – improves elasticity, so the beanie adapts better in wear.
- Folded brim – reinforces the area around the forehead and ears, giving a more sheltered edge.
- Smooth, non-fuzzy surface – gives the beanie a clean, neat look without a fluffy effect.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – helps maintain an even, consistent knit structure in the finished piece.
- Moderate resistance to pilling – with regular use, natural signs of fibre movement may appear over time, which is typical of more delicate yarns.
To complete the set
If you would like to change the character of this style, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same colour and made from the same yarn. matching shawls, wraps and snoods also work well with it if you are looking for a set with a similar material and look.
