| 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. |

When this style is a good choice
This style is for those looking for a hat in natural merino wool that covers the ears and forehead without excessive pressure. It works well for everyday wear through the colder months, from the first autumn chill to a typical winter. Because of its turn-up shape and close fit, it may be less comfortable for those who prefer very loose, slouchy beanies. The bold red colour works best in a wardrobe that already has room for a stronger accent.
Baby Merino and how it feels on the skin
This beanie is handmade from certified 100% Baby Merino yarn with a smooth, non-fluffy surface, which supports comfort also on sensitive skin. In everyday wear, this wool combines softness with elasticity, so the knit adapts to the shape of the head and keeps its form over time. Its moderate resistance to pilling means that with frequent wear, a few small pills may appear, which is typical of delicate merino fibres.
Shape and fit
The NANA is a turn-up beanie made in a single rib stitch, which naturally stretches when putting it on and wearing it. The wide folded brim creates an extra layer over the ears and also allows for slight adjustment of the hat height. The rib stitch gives it flexibility and a close fit, so it sits neatly on the head without excess fabric at the crown. When choosing a size, it is worth following your preference: a closer fit gives more stability, while a looser one feels gentler for those who do not like pressure.
How this beanie works in everyday wear
- Medium-weight knit – provides noticeable warmth for the autumn and winter season without the feel of a heavy, bulky hat.
- Baby Merino wool – supports thermal comfort in changing conditions, which helps reduce the risk of overheating during everyday movement.
- Folded brim – creates a double layer over the ears and forehead, increasing protection in these areas in wind and lower temperatures.
- Rib stitch throughout – makes the beanie flexible and helps it stay in place, which is practical when putting it on and taking it off often.
- Smooth, non-fluffy knit surface – helps reduce the risk of catching on jewellery or a jacket zip and makes it easier to pull a hood over the beanie.
- Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I certified yarn – confirms that the material meets strict requirements for harmful substances.
- Hand-knitted – each beanie is finished individually, which helps control the tension of the knit and supports consistent fit within this style.
Extras and care
If you like a more decorative finish, you can order a matching pom-pom for this beanie – made from the same yarn, it creates a consistent look in both colour and texture. You can also add a shawl, snood or scarf in natural yarn from the shawls, wraps and snoods section to build a practical set for colder months. The beanie requires hand washing in lukewarm water; you will find detailed guidance in the wool care guide, which can help reduce felting and keep the knit in shape for longer.
