| 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 folded merino wool beanie, handmade with knitting needles from 100% Baby Merino. It has a medium-weight feel for autumn and winter. Availability depends on the size selected — click your chosen variant to check whether it is ready to ship or made to order.
When this is a good choice
This style works well if you are looking for a smooth, visually understated beanie for colder days, without a fluffy surface or a strongly sporty look. Navy is an easy colour to pair with an everyday wardrobe, so it works well both with simple city outfits and with more classic outerwear. It is a sensible choice for autumn and winter when you want seasonal coverage without a very heavy look. If you are looking for a beanie specifically for hard frost or for a very loose fit, this style may not give the effect you expect.
Yarn and feel against the skin
I chose 100% Baby Merino for this design because with a smooth knit and everyday contact with the skin, it is not only warmth that matters, but also a calm, predictable feel in wear. This baby merino beanie is made from yarn suitable for sensitive skin, and the yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.
As with any wool, it does require careful care — before washing, it is worth reading the short guide to wool care.
How it sits on the head
This is a fitted style with a folded brim and a classic beanie shape, so it stays in place well and does not look heavy. In my experience, this kind of fit works best when the beanie is meant to give coverage around the ears as well, while keeping a clean line without excess volume. The folded brim visually structures the shape and gives it a more classic character. If you prefer very loose beanies with extra height, the HELLI fit will feel more structured than oversized.
What matters in everyday use
- 100% Baby Merino – gives natural wool coverage suitable for autumn and winter, without added synthetic fibres.
- Medium weight – makes the beanie easy to wear day to day, especially if you want a style that is not overly bulky.
- Double rib – adds elasticity to the knit, helping the shape adapt better to the head.
- Smooth surface without fluff – gives a cleaner, more structured look and does not shift the style in a fluffy direction.
- Handmade with knitting needles – keeps the stitch structure visible and preserves the character typical of handmade work.
- Suitable for sensitive skin – reduces the risk of the beanie feeling troublesome in direct contact with the skin.
- Pilling resistance: medium – with regular use, natural signs of fibre movement may appear over time.
Extras and matching pieces
If you would like to change the character of the style, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn and colour. Matching shawls, scarves and snoods also work well if you want a coordinated wool set. The beanie is finished with a removable eco-leather label, which makes it easier to prepare for hand washing.
