| 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 handmade merino wool beanie, made from 100% Baby Merino. It is a medium-weight beanie for autumn and winter, with a folded brim and a smooth surface without a fuzzy halo. You can check availability by clicking on the size — this style may be available either ready to ship or made to order, depending on the variant.
When it works best
This style is for anyone looking for a beanie for colder days without wanting a very heavy, bulky knit. It works well for everyday wear in autumn and winter, especially when a clean, simple look and a soft feel against the skin matter. Its medium weight makes it a good choice for the city, walks, and an ordinary winter day. If you need a beanie specifically for severe frost and long periods of standing still outdoors, it is worth considering a thicker style.
How it feels against the skin
I chose 100% Baby Merino here because, in practice, this yarn is often well received by people who are sensitive to the itchiness sometimes associated with wool. The smooth surface without a fuzzy halo helps reduce that “prickly” sensation, and the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certificate confirms that the yarn has been tested for harmful substances.
Like any wool, it needs gentle handling and proper wool care, which is why this model is intended for hand washing.
How it sits on the head
The beanie shape with a folded brim gives a more settled, neat look than thin beanies without an edge. The rib works together with the movement of the knit, so the beanie adapts to the head without feeling stiff. The folded brim visually defines the line around the forehead and ears, while the whole shape stays soft. It is a good option if you want a fitted beanie without the feeling of a tight shell.
What matters most in use
- 100% Baby Merino – gives a soft, natural feel against the skin and works well where synthetic blends are not wanted.
- Medium weight – provides warmth suited to autumn and winter without creating a very heavy, overheating layer.
- Single rib – improves flexibility, helping the beanie adapt better in wear.
- Folded brim – adds an extra layer around the lower part, which supports comfort around the forehead and ears.
- Smooth knit without a fuzzy halo – the surface looks clean and feels less fluffy around the face.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – helps maintain an even structure and a consistent character.
- Pilling resistance: medium – with regular wear, small signs of use may appear over time, which is worth keeping in mind when choosing.
Matching accessories
If you would like to add a matching pom-pom for your beanie, you can choose one made from the same yarn, colour-matched to the beanie. You can also add matching shawls, scarves and snoods if you want to put together a coordinated set for the colder season.
