| 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 in a medium weight, designed for autumn and winter, with a turn-up brim and a smooth knit surface. Availability depends on the selected size – click your chosen option to check whether it is ready to ship or made to order.
When this style makes sense
This style works well for anyone looking for a close-fitting beanie for the colder months and who does not want to give up a gentle feel against the skin. It suits everyday wear in autumn and winter, when you want protection without a heavy, fluffy shape. This version comes in the calm, light Rosa shade shown in the photos, so it pairs easily with a simple winter wardrobe. If you are looking for a very thick beanie or a distinctly slouchy fit, this style may not give the effect you expect.
Yarn and feel in wear
The beanie is made from 100% Baby Merino. I also choose this yarn with people in mind who do not feel comfortable with the rougher feel of classic wool against the skin; here the surface is smooth, without halo, and the yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.
Wool needs more careful care, so this beanie should be hand washed; a short guide is available here: wool care.
How it fits on the head
This is a beanie with a close fit, made in a single rib stitch, with a turn-up brim that creates a more stable edge. This construction holds its shape well and usually sits close to the head, without excess volume. Handmade on a knitting machine, it allows me to keep the stitch consistent and the finish neat. If you prefer a very loose beanie that drops at the back, it is better to choose a different shape.
What follows from its construction
- 100% Baby Merino – gives a soft feel against the skin, so this style also works well for people who are more sensitive to the itch of wool.
- Medium weight – provides warmth suited to autumn and winter without the feel of a heavy, very bulky beanie.
- Smooth knit without halo – helps reduce surface irritation and makes everyday wear more comfortable.
- Turn-up brim – adds extra coverage around the ears and forehead, where the cold is often felt most.
- Single rib stitch – supports a flexible fit and helps the beanie keep its shape in use.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – contributes to a careful finish and the character of a handmade piece.
- Moderate resistance to pilling – with regular wear, natural signs of use may appear over time, as is typical for wool.
Matching pieces
If you would like a beanie with pom-pom, you can choose a pom-pom made from the same yarn as the beanie, so the whole piece keeps a consistent look. You can also add matching shawls, wraps and snoods from the shop.
