VARELLA Baby Merino Wool Beanie 01 White
| 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 in a medium weight for autumn and winter, with a folded brim and a smooth knit surface without a fuzzy finish. You can check availability after clicking your size — for each variant, you will see whether the beanie is ready to ship or made to order.
When it works best
This style works well when you need a merino beanie for colder days, but without a heavy, very chunky feel. The smooth beanie with a folded brim fits easily into everyday wear in autumn and winter. It is also a sensible choice for people who pay attention to how knitwear feels against the skin. If you are looking for a hat specifically for severe frost or very technical protection in extreme conditions, the medium weight may not be enough.
Yarn and feel when worn
I used 100% Baby Merino — a merino yarn chosen for softness and a calm feel against the skin. In practice, this merino wool beanie has a smooth surface without fuzz and is suitable for sensitive skin. The yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.
As with any wool, it needs gentle handling and proper wool care to help maintain its shape and appearance.
How it sits on the head
This is a close-fitting beanie, handmade on a knitting machine. The folded brim gives a neat line around the forehead and ears, while the overall look stays simple and clean, without unnecessary extras. The single rib stitch adds stretch, so the beanie works better with the shape of the head than styles made from stiffer knit fabric. If you want a clearly loose, strongly oversized look, this shape is more structured than roomy.
What follows from the way it is made
- 100% Baby Merino – offers a soft feel against the skin and works well where reduced discomfort from wearing wool matters.
- Medium weight – makes the beanie suitable from autumn into winter without feeling overly heavy on the head.
- Folded brim – adds extra coverage around the forehead and ears, which improves comfort on colder days.
- Single rib stitch – gives the knit elasticity, so the beanie adjusts better during wear.
- Smooth surface without fuzz – creates a cleaner, more structured look without a fluffy effect.
- Pilling resistance: medium – with regular use, signs of natural wear may appear over time, as is typical of more delicate yarns.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – helps maintain an even, careful stitch and a neat finish.
Extras and other things worth checking
If you would like to add a matching pom-pom, you can choose one made from the same yarn as the beanie — the finished piece will be ready to wear.
You can also pair it with matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you want a coordinated set from the same accessory category.
