| 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 100% Baby Merino beanie in a medium weight, designed for autumn and winter, with a smooth surface and a slightly extended back. Availability depends on the size selected — click your size to check whether it is ready to ship or made to order.
What conditions and needs it suits
This style works well if you are looking for a hat made from natural yarn for colder days, but without a heavy, thick feel. It is a good option for people who pay attention to how a fabric feels against the skin and prefer a simple, smooth shape without a turned-up brim. The medium weight gives coverage for autumn and winter, especially for everyday wear. If you need a hat for very hard frost or extra coverage around the ears, a style without a fold-over brim may not provide the same insulation as thicker winter designs.
Yarn and feel when worn
I used 100% Baby Merino here — a gentle merino wool chosen with comfortable contact against the skin in mind. The knit is smooth, without a fuzzy finish, and the yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, which confirms it has been tested for harmful substances.
It is still wool, so if you are individually sensitive to natural fibres, how it feels may vary.
Shape and fit on the head
This is a merino wool beanie in a classic beanie shape, without a fold-over brim, with a slightly extended back. This cut sits more loosely at the back than typical shorter styles and does not create an extra layer along the forehead edge. In practice, this gives a lighter visual effect and a softer drape. If you are looking for a short, close-fitting shape that sits snugly over the crown, this style may feel too relaxed.
What this means in use
- 100% Baby Merino – helps provide warmth for cold days without any synthetic blend.
- Medium weight – makes the beanie suitable for autumn and winter without creating a bulky look on the head.
- Double ribbed band – adds stretch to the knit, so the shape adjusts more easily when worn.
- Smooth surface without fuzz – gives a neater look and limits the fluffy effect.
- No fold-over brim – reduces bulk around the face, which may suit people who do not like a thick edge above the forehead.
- Extended back – creates a looser shape at the back instead of a tightly fitted top.
- Handmade with knitting needles – gives it a crafted character and a finish different from mass production.
Extras and important information
If you would like to add a matching pom-pom for your beanie in the same colour, you can choose one made from the same yarn. You can also complete the set with matching shawls, wraps and snoods.
This model requires hand washing; before use, it is worth reading the short guide on how to care for wool. Resistance to pilling is medium, so with regular wear, natural signs of use may appear over time. The beanie is finished with a detachable eco-leather label.
