When this beanie is a good choice
The NELLI style in 38 Blue Mist is a good option if you are looking for a beanie for the colder months that fits close to the head without being overly thick. It works well for everyday wear, walks and city use, especially if you want the benefits of merino wool in a simple fold-up design. Because it may cause slight itchiness, it may not be the best choice for a very sensitive scalp or if you already know that you do not react well to wool against the skin.
Skin contact and the character of the material
The beanie is made from yarn composed of 75% merino wool and 25% polyamide, with a smooth, non-fluffy knitted surface. This blend combines the typical qualities of a merino wool beanie (thermal comfort, breathability) with a synthetic fibre added to support durability and help the beanie keep its shape during wear. For normally sensitive skin, contact with this yarn is usually acceptable, but with very sensitive skin it may cause some itchiness or discomfort during longer wear.
Fit and how it wears
This is a fold-up beanie designed to sit close to the head, without extra slouch at the top. The full-length double rib helps the knit sit flexibly around the head and keep its shape through repeated wear. The folded brim creates an extra layer of knit over the ears, which increases the feeling of protection from the cold in that area. This shape is a good match if you like beanies that stay in place and do not slip over the eyes easily, but it will not suit you if you prefer loose, oversized styles.
For everyday use – what is worth knowing
- Medium-weight knit – provides noticeable warmth in autumn and winter conditions, without the typical heaviness of very thick beanies.
- Double rib – helps the beanie fit the head more securely, reducing the risk of it slipping during walking or activity.
- Folded brim – creates an extra layer over the ears, which adds protection on windy or colder days.
- Polyamide added to the fibre blend – helps support the knit’s resistance to stretching and everyday wear, while keeping natural fibre as the main component.
- Moderate pilling resistance – requires normal care during wear (for example under a hood or helmet), as the small pills typical of wool may appear over time.
- Designed for autumn and winter – works best in colder temperatures and may feel too warm in milder spring weather.
- Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified yarn – means the fibre used has been tested for harmful substances, which may matter if you pay close attention to raw material composition.
Additional details and matching pieces
The beanie is finished with a removable eco-leather logo tag from Nitkowe Love, which you can easily take off for washing if you want to protect it from getting wet or creased. If you would like a coordinated set for colder days, you can choose matching shawls, scarves or snoods to adapt your neck coverage to the character of the beanie.
You can also order a separate pom-pom for your beanie made from the same yarn if you prefer a more finished look – if you add the pom-pom to your order, you will receive the beanie ready to wear. The beanie requires gentle wool care (hand washing, dry flat), which is worth keeping in mind if you are looking for something low-maintenance.
