| 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 merino wool beanie made from 100% Baby Merino, in a medium weight for the autumn–winter season, with a folded brim and a smooth surface without a fuzzy finish.

What kind of days and needs it suits
This style is for those looking for a beanie for the colder months without choosing a heavy, bulky knit. It works well for everyday wear in autumn and winter, including when a calm, gentle feel against the skin matters. The light yellow shade brightens an outfit but does not stand out as strongly as more intense colours. If you need a beanie mainly for severe frost or a highly technical outdoor style, a thicker construction will be a better choice.
How it feels against the skin
I use 100% Baby Merino here — a yarn chosen for a gentler feel against the skin. The smooth surface without fuzz helps reduce the sense of dryness and accidental irritation, which makes this model a good option where regular wool may feel too coarse.
As with any wool, comfort remains a personal experience.
How it fits on the head
This is a close-fitting beanie with a folded brim that gives a neat line across the forehead and ears. The single rib adds stretch, so the beanie moves with you and keeps the knit’s clear vertical texture. I make it by hand on a knitting machine, which gives the whole piece an even, tidy structure. If you prefer a very loose, slouchy oversized fit, this style may sit too close to the head.
Key points in everyday wear
- 100% Baby Merino – gives a naturally soft handle and may help reduce discomfort on sensitive skin.
- Medium weight – suitable for the autumn–winter season without feeling overly heavy on the head.
- Folded brim – adds extra coverage around the lower part of the beanie and helps the shape stay neat in wear.
- Single rib – improves stretch, so the fit adapts better to the shape of the head.
- Smooth knit without fuzz – this beanie does not have a fluffy look and works easily with simpler everyday outfits.
- Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 – the yarn has been tested for harmful substances, which can help when making a more informed material choice.
- Pilling resistance: medium – with regular wear, the surface may naturally show signs of use over time.
Extras and practical additions
If you would like a beanie with pom-pom, you can choose a pom-pom made from the same yarn in a matching colour. You can also pair it with matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you want a set in a similar style.
This Baby Merino beanie needs gentle care: hand washing is recommended. You can find a short guide here: wool care.
