| 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. |
VARELLA is a handmade 100% Baby Merino beanie, medium weight, for autumn and winter, with a turn-up brim and a smooth knit surface. You can check availability by clicking on the size — that’s where you’ll see whether the beanie is ready to ship or made to order.
What conditions and needs it suits
This style is for those looking for a merino wool beanie for regular wear during the colder part of the year, and who prefer a calm, clean look without a fluffy halo. It works well when soft contact with the skin matters, along with coverage suitable for autumn and winter. If you need a very thick beanie, specifically for hard frost and long periods outdoors without much movement, this version may feel too moderate. Colour 42 Petrol is a muted blue that pairs easily with an everyday wardrobe without creating strong contrast.
Yarn and how it feels to wear
I used 100% Baby Merino yarn because in practice it gives a smooth, non-fluffy surface and works well where skin reacts badly to rougher yarns. This style is suitable for sensitive skin, and the yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.

A shape that works with the head
This is a beanie with a close-fitting shape, a turn-up brim and a clearly structured line. The single rib stitch gives the knit natural stretch, so the beanie sits close to the head without looking heavy. The turn-up visually tidies the front and adds extra coverage around the ears. If you prefer very loose beanies with plenty of extra volume at the crown, this shape is more fitted than oversized.
What it offers in everyday wear
- Medium weight – gives coverage for autumn and winter without the feel of a very heavy, bulky beanie.
- 100% Baby Merino – offers soft contact on the forehead and ears, which matters during longer wear.
- Smooth knit surface without fluff – creates a cleaner, more structured look and does not make an outfit feel fuzzy.
- Turn-up brim – adds extra coverage in the lower part of the beanie, where cold is most often felt.
- Single rib stitch – helps the beanie fit the head better and keep a stable shape while worn.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – allows for an even, carefully finished knit structure.
- Moderate resistance to pilling – with normal use, it is worth expecting that natural signs of fibre wear may appear over time.
Matching accessories
If you want to change the look of this style, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn colour. matching shawls, wraps and snoods also work well with it if you want a coordinated wool set.
