| 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. |
HELLI is a handmade merino wool beanie in a close-fitting beanie shape with a turn-up brim, made in a medium weight for autumn and winter. To check availability, click on the size — you will then see whether that variant is ready to ship or made to order.
When this beanie is a good choice
This style is for those looking for a hat for the colder part of the year, but without a heavy, fluffy surface. It works well for everyday wear when ear coverage, reliable fit and a calm, neutral colour matter. The grey shade pairs easily with an everyday wardrobe and does not dominate an outfit. If you need a very lightweight hat for milder in-between-season weather, or one with a distinctly fluffy feel, this style will not be the right choice.
Yarn and feel against the skin
I used 100% Baby Merino, a softer type of merino chosen with comfortable skin contact in mind. The smooth, non-hairy surface helps reduce the feeling of dryness and случайного “tickle”, so this merino beanie, whether chosen as a women’s style or a unisex one, may also be a good option for those who are more cautious about wool. The yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.
Like any wool, it needs gentle care — before washing, it is worth reading the wool care guide.
How it fits on the head
The beanie shape is close-fitting, but thanks to its flexible construction it does not look stiff. The turn-up brim brings structure around the face and gives the shape a visually balanced line, while the overall look stays soft and easy to wear day to day. In my experience, this kind of fit works best when you want the hat to stay in place without constant adjusting. If you prefer a very loose, slouchy oversized fit, it is better to choose a different style.
What its construction means in everyday wear
- 100% Baby Merino – gives a naturally soft feel against the skin and makes this style a sensible option for people who are careful about choosing wool.
- Medium weight – provides warmth suited to autumn and winter without the feel of a very heavy, bulky hat.
- Double ribbed knit – adds elasticity, helping the beanie fit the head better and hold its shape more steadily.
- Turn-up brim – adds an extra layer around the ears and forehead, which improves comfort on colder days.
- Smooth knit surface without a halo – makes it easy to wear with a coat, jacket or scarf and avoids a fluffy visual effect.
- Hand-knitted – keeps the stitch structure visible and preserves the character of a handmade piece that mass production does not replace.
- Moderate resistance to pilling – means that with regular wear, natural signs of fibre movement may appear over time.
Extras and matching pieces
If you would like to order a beanie with pom-pom in the same colour, you can add the matching pom-pom to your order and the finished piece will arrive ready to wear. You can also choose matching shawls, wraps and snoods to complete the set. The beanie is finished with a removable eco-leather label, which makes it easier to prepare for hand washing.
