| 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 Beanie is a handmade merino wool beanie in a medium weight, designed for autumn and winter, with a turn-up brim and a marled Jagody & Śmietanka colour mix. You can check availability after clicking your size — there you will see whether the beanie is ready to ship or made to order.
For everyday wear and the colder months
This style is for those looking for a beanie to wear regularly through the autumn-winter season and who prefer soft, smooth knitwear without a fuzzy finish. It works well when you want a calm, less obvious colour: a light ecru base with small accents of blue, purple and berry tones. Because of its medium weight, it is suitable for typical cold weather, but in severe frost it may need extra coverage around the neck and ears. If you are looking for a very lightweight beanie strictly for transitional weather, this version may feel too warm.
Yarn and feel when worn
I used 100% Baby Merino — a gentle merino yarn chosen with people in mind who are sensitive to the itchiness of typical wool. The knit has a smooth surface, and the yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.
Like any wool, it needs careful care — it is best to follow the guidance in the note on wool care.
Shape and fit
This is a beanie with a fitted base that moves with the shape of the head, while the higher top sits more loosely. The turn-up brim gives a neater line across the forehead and helps the beanie stay more securely in place during wear. This shape looks good worn in a classic way or with a slightly looser look at the back. If you prefer beanies that sit completely close to the head with no extra room at the top, this cut will feel less minimal.
Key features in everyday use
- 100% Baby Merino – offers a soft feel against the skin and helps reduce the risk of discomfort for people who are sensitive to typical wool.
- Medium weight – gives coverage for autumn and winter without the feel of a heavy, bulky hat.
- Single rib knit – adds elasticity to the fabric, so the beanie adapts better during wear.
- Turn-up brim – strengthens coverage around the forehead and ears, where the cold is often felt most.
- Smooth surface without fuzz – makes everyday wear easier for those who do not like a fluffy finish near the face.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – helps maintain an even stitch and a neat finish throughout the style.
- Pilling resistance: medium – with regular wear, natural signs of fibre movement may appear, which is typical of delicate wool.
Extras and matching pieces
If you would like a beanie with pom-pom, you can add a pom-pom made from the same yarn as the beanie. To complete the set, it is also worth looking at shawls, scarves and snoods if you want a coordinated set for colder days.
