| 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. |
The VARELLA 2.0 turn-up beanie is a handmade merino wool beanie in a medium weight, made from soft 100% Baby Merino yarn in the multicoloured Aniversario shade. Availability of a specific piece (ready to ship or made to order) can be checked after clicking the relevant size.
When this beanie is a good choice
It works well if you are looking for a beanie for autumn and winter that keeps you warm while staying light and not overly warm during everyday wear. The VARELLA 2.0 is a good option for those who like close-fitting but flexible beanies with a turn-up and full ear coverage. The multicoloured mix of reds, purples and burgundy works well with simple, plain jackets and coats, so this beanie stands out as a clear accent in an outfit. It will not be the right choice if you need a very thin beanie to wear under a helmet or a very chunky, fluffy hat for extreme cold.
Baby Merino wool and how it feels on the skin
The beanie is made from 100% Baby Merino, a merino yarn known for its smooth, soft surface and good skin feel, including for sensitive skin. The smooth knit without fuzz and the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certificate mean that the surface is not rough and has no protruding fibres that could cause additional irritation. If you are very sensitive to all types of wool, it is still worth keeping in mind that the reaction may be individual.
To help maintain the wool’s properties and the shape of the beanie, proper care is important – you can find detailed guidance in the wool care guide.
Shape, turn-up and fit
VARELLA 2.0 is a beanie with a close-fitting shape and the option to wear it with a turn-up. The single rib knit makes the fabric springy and flexible: it adapts easily to the head circumference and returns to its original shape after being taken off. The turn-up creates a double layer over the ears and forehead, which increases the sense of warmth where it is usually needed most. The beanie fits well on standard head sizes; on very small or very large head circumferences, it may feel looser or more fitted accordingly.
How this beanie works in everyday wear
- Medium-weight knit – provides noticeable warmth in autumn and winter temperatures, without the feel of a heavy, bulky hat.
- Rib stitch throughout – improves stretch and fit, so the beanie stays securely on the head while walking or moving around the city.
- Turn-up brim – adds an extra layer over the ears and forehead, which helps reduce drafts in windy weather.
- Smooth, non-fuzzy surface – makes it easier to wear under a hood and helps prevent snagging on zips, Velcro or earrings.
- Merino wool with moderate pilling resistance – with regular wear, light pilling may appear over time in areas of friction, which is typical for soft yarns.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – allows for an even, consistent knit while keeping the character of handmade work and the natural differences between individual pieces.
- Hand-dyed Aniversario colourway – creates a unique multicoloured effect, so each beanie may vary slightly in colour placement.
The beanie is finished with an eco-friendly Nitkowe Love label, which can be unfastened before washing for easier care.
