| 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 turned-up cuff. It has a medium-weight knit, designed for autumn and winter, with a smooth surface and a close-fitting shape. Availability depends on the size selected — click your size to check whether the piece is ready to ship or made to order.
When it makes sense to choose this style
This style suits those looking for a beanie for colder days without a coarse, fuzzy finish around the face. It works well for everyday wear in autumn and winter, especially if you prefer a calm, simple look and a material that feels skin-friendly in direct contact. The olive shade fits into a muted, natural colour palette and pairs easily with a basic wardrobe. If you need a very thick beanie for severe frost or a loose, slouchy fit, this version may not give the effect you expect.
Yarn and feel when worn
This style is made from 100% Baby Merino. For this series, I choose yarns that work well when worn directly against the skin, and here the smooth knit surface also helps, with no halo or loose fibres standing out. The yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.
It is still wool, so it needs gentle handling and care suitable for wool, including hand washing.
How it sits on the head
HELLI is a fitted beanie with a turned-up cuff that gives a neater line around the forehead and ears. The stitch used adds elasticity, so the beanie moves as you put it on and wear it, rather than holding a stiff shape. It sits closer to the head than an oversized style, but as the photos show, it still keeps a little extra height at the top. If you want a more defined look rather than a strongly slouchy drape, this shape will be the more consistent choice.
What follows from its construction and finish
- 100% Baby Merino – a wool beanie for the colder season, with no added fibres.
- Medium weight – works well in typical autumn and winter conditions, without the heaviness of very thick beanies.
- Double ribbed knit – adds resilience, so the beanie adapts better to the head in wear.
- Turned-up cuff – adds an extra layer around the forehead and ears, making it more practical for colder days.
- Smooth surface without fuzz – helps reduce the “itchy wool” impression and gives a cleaner, more defined finish.
- A good option for sensitive skin – a helpful direction if standard wool tends to feel too irritating around the face.
- Hand-knitted – each piece is made in a controlled way, with attention to stitch, shape and finish.
Additional options
If you would like to change the look of this style, you can choose a matching pom-pom for your beanie in the same material and colour. To complete the set, you can also take a look at matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you want a coordinated set for the colder season.
