| 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 folded beanie style, medium weight for autumn and winter, in Sage Green. Availability depends on the selected variant — click your size to check whether the beanie is ready to ship or made to order.
When this style makes sense
This is a good choice if you are looking for a beanie for colder days with a calm, clean look that does not feel like a heavy winter knit. It works well for everyday wear in autumn and winter, especially if comfort in direct contact with the skin matters to you. The HELLI folded merino beanie also makes sense if you prefer a closer fit rather than loose, slouchy styles. If you need very thick protection for severe frost or a technical sports hat, this version may not meet your expectations.
Yarn and feel against the skin
I use 100% Baby Merino here — a fibre with a smooth surface and no halo, chosen for comfortable contact with the skin. In practice, this women’s merino beanie tends to work well for people who usually notice itchiness or an irritating woolly feel. The yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, and the beanie itself requires hand washing; a short guide is available here: wool care.
It is worth keeping in mind that natural wool has moderate resistance to pilling, so with regular wear small signs of use may appear over time.
How it sits on the head
This is a fitted style with a folded brim, which gives the beanie a more defined shape than soft, slouching beanies. The way it sits is also influenced by how it is made — the beanie is handmade on knitting needles, so the knit moves naturally and adjusts with wear. The folded brim visually finishes the shape around the face, so this model tends to suit those who like a clear, classic outline. If you are looking for a strongly oversized effect, a different cut will be a better choice.
What this means in wear
- 100% Baby Merino – offers a soft feel against the skin, so the beanie works well for people who are sensitive to the typical itch of wool.
- Medium weight – makes it suitable from autumn through winter without feeling overly bulky.
- Double rib knit – improves the elasticity of the knit, helping the beanie keep its shape better when putting it on and wearing it.
- Folded brim – reinforces the area around the ears and forehead, giving a more sheltered and stable fit.
- Smooth surface without halo – creates a calm, clean look and reduces the impression of fluffiness around the face.
- Handmade on knitting needles – gives each piece a handmade character rather than a mass-produced feel.
- Sage Green colour – adds a muted, understated accent that pairs easily with neutral outerwear.
Possible additions
If you would like a different finish, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom for this model in the same material and colour. You can also add other knitted accessories from this category to complete the set: matching shawls, wraps and snoods.
