Who it suits / when it works well / when it may not

This merino wool beanie works well if you are looking for an everyday hat for colder autumn days and winter, one that fits close to the head without adding much bulk. The neutral, multi-tonal Roasted Almond brown is a good choice if you prefer a quiet look and easy pairing with other colours in your wardrobe. Thanks to its stretchy turn-up shape, NELLI suits different head shapes and can be worn either closer-fitting or with a slight relaxed slouch. It may not be the best option, however, if you have very sensitive skin and do not tolerate contact with natural wool well.

Material and feel against the skin

The beanie is made from yarn composed of 75% merino and 25% polyamide, with an Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certificate, which means the fibres have been tested for harmful substances. The merino provides the thermal qualities and natural character of the knit, while the added polyamide improves resilience and everyday durability. The smooth knit surface, without a fuzzy halo, reduces the risk of the typical itch associated with wool with a more pronounced fibre texture, but on exceptionally sensitive skin the material may still feel slightly itchy, especially around the forehead and ears.

Shape and fit

NELLI is a classic turn-up beanie, handmade on knitting needles in a double rib stitch. This type of stitch makes the hat highly stretchy across the width, so it stays well on the head and adapts to its shape without visible looseness at the edge. The turn-up lets you adjust the height — you can wear it with more coverage over the ears or with less coverage, depending on the weather and your preference. The medium-weight knit gives noticeable coverage without creating a very bulky shape, so the beanie also works well under a hood.

Practical features

• Medium-weight knit – provides warmth suitable for autumn and a typical city winter, without the feel of a heavy, very chunky hat.
• Double rib throughout – increases stretch, so the beanie fits well and is less likely to slip during everyday wear.
• Turn-up brim – adds an extra layer over the ears, improving protection from the wind and allowing you to adjust the height for your own comfort.
• Merino and polyamide blend – combines the natural qualities of wool with improved durability, which helps slow stretching and wear with frequent use.
• Medium pilling resistance – this means that with regular wear, the small pills typical of wool may appear and are worth removing from time to time with a fabric shaver.
• Smooth knit surface without fuzz – makes the beanie easier to keep clean and helps reduce small bits of fluff or hair clinging to it.
• Handmade on needles – each piece has small, natural differences, giving it an individual character and clear artisan workmanship.

Extras

If you would like to change the look of the beanie or give it a more wintry feel, you can choose a pom-pom for your beanie. To create a set for colder days, you may also want to add a shawl, scarf or snood from the matching shawls, wraps and snoods section, especially if you want a coordinated colour set. To help maintain the qualities of the yarn and reduce pilling, hand washing is recommended according to the guidance in the wool care guide; this is important if you want the beanie to keep its shape and appearance over the coming seasons.
