| 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 is a turn-up beanie made from 100% Baby Merino, in a medium weight for autumn and winter, with a smooth finish and no halo. Availability depends on the size option selected — click your chosen size to check whether it is ready to ship or made to order.
Best suited to what weather and style of wear
This merino wool beanie is for those looking for a style to wear regularly in the colder months and who prefer a calm, plain look without a fluffy texture. It works well in autumn and winter when you need everyday coverage without a heavy, very thick feel. The medium brown shade pairs easily with beige, taupe, olive, black and other muted colours. If you need a beanie specifically for severe frost or a very technical outdoor style, this version may feel too moderate.
Yarn and feel against the skin
I chose 100% Baby Merino because in practice this type of wool works well where gentle contact with the skin matters and where you want a knit surface without protruding fibres. The yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, and the material itself is indicated as suitable for sensitive skin.
It is still wool, so if you are individually very sensitive to natural fibres, the feel may remain subjective.
A shape that moves with you
The beanie has a close-fitting character and a turned-up edge, so it sits neatly close to the head without unwanted bulk. The single rib gives the flexibility needed for everyday putting on and taking off, while the turn-up creates a cleaner line around the forehead and ears. This is a style for those who prefer a beanie that stays in place rather than slouching loosely. Made by hand on a knitting machine, it keeps an even, orderly structure.
What this means in everyday wear
- 100% Baby Merino – gives the material a naturally soft handle that usually works better for frequent skin contact than rougher yarns.
- Medium weight – lets you wear the beanie from autumn into winter without it feeling overly bulky.
- Smooth surface without halo – the beanie looks clean and understated, without a fluffy effect around the face and hair.
- Single rib – improves elasticity, so the shape works better with movement and keeps its close-fitting character.
- Turn-up edge – adds to the feeling of coverage around the lower part of the beanie and gives a neater finish at the edge.
- Pilling resistance: medium – with regular wear, typical signs of use may appear over time, especially in areas exposed to friction.
- Hand wash – requires gentler care, but helps the wool knit keep its shape and properties for longer.
Matching accessories
If you would like to complete this style, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same colour and made from the same yarn. Matching shawls, wraps and snoods also work well if you want a coordinated winter set. A short care note: merino is best treated gently; you can find the guidelines here: wool care.
