| 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 100% Baby Merino beanie, medium weight, for autumn and winter, with a turned-up brim and a smooth knit surface. Availability depends on the size selected — click your chosen variant to see whether it is ready to ship or made to order.
What kind of weather and needs it suits
This style is for those looking for a merino beanie for everyday wear on colder days, without extra embellishment and with a clean, structured shape. It works well in autumn and winter, when you need coverage suited to typical city wear and walks. The calm lavender shade pairs easily with a basic wardrobe, while still adding some colour. If you are looking for a very lightweight between-season beanie or a very thick hat for strong frost, this style may not give the effect you expect.
Yarn and feel against the skin
I chose 100% Baby Merino because with beanies worn close to the forehead and ears, not only the fibre content matters, but also how the knit feels during longer contact with the skin. This yarn is suitable for sensitive skin, and its smooth surface without a fuzzy halo helps reduce the risk of an irritating feel during wear.
Like any wool, it needs gentle care: wool care should follow the recommendations for natural fibres.
Shape and how it fits
This is a fitted beanie that sits securely on the head without looking heavy. The turned-up brim gives a cleaner line around the face, and the whole shape sits close to the head without excessive stiffness. From experience, I know that with this kind of style, the balance between stretch and stability matters — that is why this model works best as a beanie for regular everyday wear, rather than a loose, strongly slouchy shape.
What this means in everyday wear
- 100% Baby Merino – gives natural wool coverage with no added fibres, which matters if you are looking for a specific composition.
- Medium weight – makes the beanie suitable for autumn and winter, without feeling overly heavy on the head.
- Single rib – improves stretch, so the beanie adapts better when putting it on and wearing it.
- Turned-up brim – adds an extra layer at the forehead and ears, which increases the feeling of coverage in the most sensitive area.
- Smooth knit surface without fuzz – gives a cleaner, calmer look and helps limit the “itchy” impression that some people worry about with wool.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – allows for an even, consistent stitch and a neat finish.
- Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified – confirms that the yarn has been tested for harmful substances.
Matching accessories
If you want to change the character of this style, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn colour. You can also pair it with matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you want a coordinated set with a similar material feel and colour.
