When NELLI is a good choice
This beanie works well if you are looking for a fold-over, close-fitting merino wool beanie for the cooler part of autumn and winter, without the look of a fluffy or heavily hairy knit. Colour 36 Mountain Mist combines blue, brown and beige tones, so it pairs easily with a calm everyday wardrobe in different shades. Because each piece is handmade, every beanie has a subtly individual colour layout, which may be a plus if you want a one-of-a-kind look within the same style. If your skin is very sensitive to wool, this beanie may feel slightly itchy in places, and in that case it may be better to consider a model made from a different type of yarn.
Feel against the skin
The 75% merino wool and 25% polyamide yarn creates a knit that feels smooth to the touch, without the protruding fibres typical of alpaca or classic sheep’s wool. In practice, this means a pleasant, fairly soft handle and no “fluffy” surface layer, which makes it easier to wear day to day under a hood or with a jacket hood. Even so, people with a very sensitive scalp may still notice a slight itch, so it is worth considering a thin headband underneath or choosing a different yarn composition.
Fit and shape
The NELLI style is a fold-over fitted beanie with a double rib structure, so it adjusts flexibly to the shape of the head and stays in place without slipping. The folded cuff adds an extra layer of knit over the ears and forehead, which gives better protection from cool wind than a thin single-layer beanie. Its medium weight means the beanie does not feel heavy or overly bulky, while still providing noticeable warmth for everyday wear.
Practical features
- Medium-weight knit – provides noticeable warmth in autumn and winter temperatures, without feeling like a heavy, overwhelming layer on the head.
- Double rib and fold-over cuff – improve the fit around the head and ears, helping reduce cool air getting in during everyday wear.
- 75% merino, 25% polyamide – combines the natural thermal qualities of wool with improved resistance to stretching and everyday wear in motion.
- Smooth, non-fluffy surface – makes it easier to slip the beanie under a hood and reduces the risk of catching on zips, snaps or jewellery.
- Moderate resistance to pilling – with regular everyday use, light pilling may appear and can be removed from time to time with a fabric shaver.
- Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I certificate – indicates that the yarn has been tested for harmful substances and meets strict safety standards, including for the youngest users.
- Hand-knitted – gives the stitches an even, carefully made structure, but it does require following hand-washing guidelines to help preserve the shape and elasticity of the knit.
Finishing details and care
The beanie is finished with a Nitkowe Love eco-leather label that can be unfastened for washing, which makes care easier and helps the accessory keep its neat appearance for longer. If you would like to give the NELLI style a more casual look, you can choose a matching pom-pom for your beanie made from the same yarn in a coordinated colour. To create a consistent set for colder days, you can also add matching shawls, scarves or snoods from the collection to cover the neck and neckline in a similar tone. With this merino wool beanie, hand washing in lukewarm water and drying flat are essential – you can find the details in this short guide on wool care, which helps the knit keep its shape and qualities for longer.
