| 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 with a folded brim, medium weight, designed for autumn and winter. In this version, it stands out for its warm orange colour and smooth, non-fluffy surface. Availability depends on the size selected — click your chosen variant to check whether the beanie is ready to ship or made to order.
When this style makes sense
This style works well if you are looking for a beanie for colder days but do not want a bulky, heavy knit. It suits everyday wear in autumn and winter, when ear coverage and a soft feel against the skin matter. The orange shade is clear and noticeable, so it fits best when colour is meant to be a visible part of the outfit. If you need a beanie for very harsh conditions or want a completely neutral colour, this version may not be the first choice.
Yarn and feel against the skin
This model is made from 100% Baby Merino. I also choose this yarn with people in mind who do not tolerate rough fibres well — here the surface is smooth, without a fuzzy finish, and the material is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.
As with any wool, its appearance and longevity also depend on proper care, so it is worth following the guidance described here: wool care.
How it fits on the head
This is a close-fitting beanie, but it does not feel stiff. The folded brim gives the shape more structure and helps the style sit securely once on, while the top keeps the more relaxed beanie look. Handmade knitting gives the fabric natural elasticity, but it works best if you want a fitted shape rather than a loose, slouchy effect.
Key features in wear
- 100% Baby Merino – gives a soft feel against the skin and helps reduce the typical woolly itch.
- Medium weight – provides warmth suitable for autumn and winter without feeling overly heavy.
- Double rib – improves the knit’s resilience, so the beanie moves better with wear and holds its shape more easily.
- Folded brim – adds extra coverage around the forehead and ears, which matters in everyday wear in colder weather.
- Smooth surface without fuzz – gives a cleaner look and avoids a fluffy effect.
- Hand-knitted – results in a carefully made structure and character that mass production does not replace.
- Moderate resistance to pilling – with regular wear, natural signs of use may appear over time, as is typical of finer wool.
Options and additions
If you would like to change the look of this style, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn colour. You can also add matching shawls, wraps and snoods. The beanie is finished with a Nitkowe Love eco-leather label, which can be unclipped for hand washing.
