| 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 100% Baby Merino beanie in a medium weight, designed for autumn and winter, with a turn-up brim and a smooth knit surface. Availability is shown after you click the size — for this style, the status may vary depending on the option.
Weather and everyday use
This merino wool beanie is for those looking for a style for colder days, but without a heavy, fluffy texture. It works well for everyday wear in autumn and winter, when a gentle feel against the skin and a classic, understated look matter. It is also a good choice when the beanie is meant to be worn for longer, not just for a short walk. If you are looking for very thick protection for hard frost or prefer a clearly oversized fit, this model may not give the effect you expect.
Yarn and feel against the skin
I used 100% Baby Merino — a yarn chosen for gentle contact with the skin. The knit is smooth, without a fuzzy surface, and the yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, which confirms it has been tested for harmful substances.
It is still wool, so it needs careful care; you can find a short guide here: wool care.
How it fits on the head
The turn-up beanie shape gives a more structured look than thin, slouchy hats. This model has a close fit, and the folded brim creates a neater line around the forehead and ears. From my experience, with this stitch and this knit weight, the fabric works well with the shape of the head without feeling stiff. If you want a strongly oversized drape, a different cut will be a better choice.
Key features in everyday wear
- 100% Baby Merino – gives a soft feel and reduces the risk of discomfort for people who are sensitive to wool against the skin.
- Medium weight – makes the beanie suitable for autumn and winter without the effect of a heavy, very bulky layer.
- Single rib – improves elasticity, so the beanie adapts better in wear.
- Turn-up brim – adds an extra layer at the edge, which improves comfort around the forehead and ears.
- Smooth knit surface without fuzz – makes it easier to pair the beanie every day with a coat, jacket or scarf without a fluffy effect.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – helps maintain an even, consistent stitch and a neat finish.
- Pilling resistance: medium – with regular wear, typical signs of use may appear over time, especially in areas exposed to friction.
Extras and matching accessories
If you would like to change the look of this style, you can choose a pom-pom for your beanie in the same yarn and colour. To complete the set, you can also pair it with matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you want a coordinated set from the same accessory category. The model is finished with a faux leather label that can be unclipped for washing.
