When this style is a good choice
This beanie works well if you are looking for an everyday merino wool beanie that keeps you warm without feeling too hot during activity. Its medium weight and turn-up brim make it a practical choice for autumn and winter in urban settings. It can also work for sensitive skin, as long as you are comfortable with the feel of natural wool. If you need a very thin beanie to wear under a helmet, or an extremely warm one for long periods in severe frost, this style may not meet your expectations.
Baby Merino wool and skin contact
The beanie is made from 100% Baby Merino with a smooth, non-fuzzy surface, so the feel against the skin is even and without prickly fibres. The yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, Class I and has been tested for harmful substances, which may matter if you pay close attention to textile safety. If you are highly sensitive to any kind of wool, individual discomfort is still possible, so it is worth considering this before buying. You can find a short guide to caring for this material in wool care.
Fit and construction
The NANA is a turn-up beanie with a close-fitting beanie shape, handmade on needles in a single rib stitch. The ribbed structure makes the beanie flexible and helps it sit well on the head, while the turn-up brim adds an extra layer over the ears and allows for slight adjustment in how deep it sits. With the right size, it should stay in place comfortably without excessive pressure.
What this means in everyday wear
- Medium-weight Baby Merino wool – provides noticeable warmth in autumn and winter without the feel of a heavy, bulky hat.
- Ribbed stitch throughout – adds elasticity, so the beanie adapts better to the shape of the head and moves more naturally in wear.
- Turn-up brim at the bottom – doubles the knit layer over the ears, which helps protect this area better from cold and wind.
- Smooth, non-fuzzy knit surface – reduces the risk of irritation for those who are sensitive to fluffy, scratchy finishes.
- Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, Class I certification – offers additional information about fibre safety, which may matter for longer wear directly against the skin.
- Handmade on needles – helps maintain an even, flexible knit structure, which supports shape retention with proper care.
- Medium resistance to pilling – in practice, this means small wool pills may appear with regular wear and are worth removing from time to time.
Extras and matching accessories
If you like a finishing detail at the top, you can add a matching knitted pom-pom for your beanie made from the same yarn, which will be sewn on before dispatch. You can also pair the lavender NANA with a scarf, snood or shawl from the matching shawls, wraps and snoods collection to create a coordinated set for autumn and winter.
