For Hand Finishing Limited Collection Product
| 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 LE 2508 is a handmade wool beanie with a folded brim, made in a medium-weight knit for the autumn–winter season. It stands out with a melange blend of purple, pink and burgundy. Availability appears after you click on the size — you will see whether that variant is ready to ship or made to order.
For cold days, if you prefer a close fit
This style works well as a warm winter beanie for everyday wear when you want ear coverage and a classic close-fitting shape. Its medium weight makes it a good option from chilly autumn through winter. It is a good choice if you are looking for a beanie with distinctive colour but without a fluffy surface. If you need a hat for very sensitive skin or want a completely smooth feel against the face, it is worth considering the fibre content and yarn character before buying.
Yarn and feel against the skin
I made this beanie from yarn with a composition of 75% wool, 25% polyamide. The knit surface is smooth, without a fuzzy finish, which gives a cleaner, more defined look to the stitch pattern and colours than brushed yarn beanies.
Against the skin: this yarn may feel slightly itchy on very sensitive skin, so if you have a high level of sensory sensitivity, it may be better to wear it over a headband or hood, or choose a different type of fibre. This is a wool piece that needs gentle care; you can find guidance in the note on wool care.
How it fits on the head
This is a fitted beanie, handmade on a knitting machine in a single rib stitch. This construction moves with the shape of the head and stays in place without feeling stiff. The folded brim defines the line at the forehead and ears, and the overall look is more everyday than oversized. If you prefer hats that are clearly loose and tall above the head, this shape may feel more close-fitting.
What it offers in everyday wear
- 75% wool with 25% polyamide – combines the natural character of wool with added practicality for everyday use.
- Medium-weight knit – provides coverage for autumn and winter without a heavy, bulky feel on the head.
- Folded brim – adds extra coverage around the forehead and ears, where cold is often felt first.
- Single rib stitch – improves stretch, so the beanie adapts better when putting it on and wearing it.
- Smooth surface without fuzz – gives the style a more defined look and avoids the effect of a fluffy beanie.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – helps maintain a consistent shape while keeping its handmade character.
- Pilling resistance: medium – with regular wear, typical signs of use may appear over time, as with wool knitwear.
