| 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. |

Where this beanie works best
This style is a good choice if you are looking for a smooth turn-up beanie for cool autumn and winter days that wraps the head without the scratchy feel some wool hats can have. It works well for everyday wear — from the commute to longer time outdoors — as long as you need medium to fairly high warmth rather than heavy insulation for very harsh cold. The muted lavender-blue tone is easy to pair with calm, understated outfits. It may not be the best option if you want a very thin beanie for warmer weather or a knit with a fluffy, fuzzy finish.
Against the skin and the material
This beanie is made from 100% Baby Merino with Oeko-Tex Standard 100, Class I certification, which means the yarn has been tested for harmful substances and is also suitable for very sensitive skin. The smooth, non-fuzzy knit surface helps reduce the scratchiness and prickly feel some people associate with wool, which many find noticeably more comfortable for longer wear.
If you have a history of strong allergic reactions to any type of wool, it is worth keeping in mind that even gentle merino may still not work for you.
Shape, turn-up and fit
The beanie has the shape of a close-fitting beanie with a distinct turn-up, which works as an extra layer over the forehead and ears. The ribbed stitch and the natural elasticity of merino help it sit close to the head without feeling tight, which also helps it stay in place during everyday movement. Its medium weight means it works well with both a puffer jacket and a coat, without creating too much bulk around the neck. This is a good option for those who prefer a stable, close fit rather than a very loose, slouchy shape.
How this beanie performs in everyday wear
- Medium-weight knit in 100% Baby Merino — gives warmth suited to autumn and winter, without the feel of a heavy, bulky hat.
- Single rib throughout — creates a flexible fit that helps the beanie stay in place when you are on the move.
- Turn-up edge — adds a second layer over the ears, which can make it feel warmer on windy days.
- Smooth, non-fuzzy surface — helps minimise irritation for those who are sensitive to the prickly feel of traditional wool.
- Hand-knitted — allows for an even stitch, which supports a stable shape after washing and during wear.
- Rated as having medium resistance to pilling — with frequent wear, the small bobbles typical of wool may appear and are best removed gently with a fabric shaver.
- Light Lavender colour in a cool, slightly blue-toned shade — works well with a muted wardrobe, but may not suit you if you are looking for a very bright, strongly saturated colour.
Extras and care
If you like a beanie with a detail at the top, you can choose a matching pom-pom in the same yarn for this style, in the same or a contrasting colour — if ordered, you will receive it ready to wear. To complete a set for colder days, you can also add matching shawls, wraps and snoods in a similar colour palette or in the same yarn. To help your merino keep its qualities for longer, it is worth taking a look at the short guide to wool care and following the recommendations for hand washing and drying flat.
