Black Rainbow Slouchy Merino Wool Beanie 21 Czarny multicolor Handmade

A thick winter slouchy beanie, this is a handmade hat made from 100% baby merino, without a turn-up cuff, with an elongated back and a distinctly black, multicoloured look. To check whether a particular piece is ready to ship or made to order, click your chosen size.

Who it suits and what weather it works for

This style works well for people who feel the cold in autumn and winter, but do not like pressure around the head or stiffer, more classic hats. The looser slouchy shape is a good option if you want warmth without a tight fit, including for more sensitive skin. The multicoloured palette built around black pairs well with simple, solid-colour jackets or coats and noticeably changes their character. It may not be the best choice, though, if you are looking for a close-fitting, minimalist beanie with a very understated look, or for a hat for mild spring temperatures.

Material and skin contact

The beanie is made from five strands of 100% baby merino, creating a thick, smooth knit with no halo. This yarn is designed with sensitive skin in mind — soft to the touch, springy and comfortable for longer wear, without the rough feel often associated with many wool types. The yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, Class I, which confirms it has been tested for harmful substances and is also suitable for small children.

If you are very sensitive to any kind of wool, it is worth remembering that skin reactions are individual — in that case, it is best to keep the first try-ons short and see how it feels.

Shape and fit

This is a slouchy beanie, meaning a hat without a turn-up cuff, with a clearly elongated back and a looser fit at the back of the head. The knit is thick and soft, so it wraps the head without creating a stiff “shell”, which makes it easier to fit different hairstyles and head sizes within a given size range. The lack of a turn-up means fewer layers over the ears than in double-layer styles — in practice, this gives good warmth for cold autumn and winter days in the city, but it is not a fully protective, ski-style hat.

Practical features

• Five strands of baby merino create a thick, dense knit — the beanie provides good insulation from the cold in the autumn-winter season, without feeling heavy on the head.
• The looser slouchy shape with an elongated back does not fit tightly around the forehead and temples, which is helpful if you usually notice pressure quickly in classic beanies.
• No turn-up cuff and a smooth knit surface — the beanie slips easily under a hood, does not catch on fabric, and does not add unnecessary bulk around the neck.
• A black base with multicoloured yarn (fuchsia, green, yellow and blue) — each piece has its own individual, dimensional pattern that brightens darker outerwear without giving up black entirely.
• Moderate resistance to pilling — with intensive daily wear, small pills may appear over time, so it is worth removing them from time to time and avoiding strong friction against rough parts of clothing.
• Handmade with knitting needles — each piece is made individually, with attention to yarn tension, which helps maintain an even stitch and consistent thickness without accidental thick spots.
• This merino beanie is suitable for both adults and children — as long as the right size is chosen and the loose shape suits the person wearing it.

Extras

You may want to choose a matching shawl, snood or scarf from the matching shawls, wraps and snoods section to cover the neck and chest more evenly in lower temperatures. If you need help choosing, feel free to get in touch.

Because it is made from 100% merino wool, the beanie needs gentle care — the current wool care guide will help you keep its shape, elasticity and colours through the coming seasons.
