| 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. In this version, it stands out for its light turquoise colour and the smooth, clean surface of the knit.

When it works best
This style is for those looking for a merino wool beanie for everyday wear during the colder part of the year, without the feel of a heavy, very chunky knit. The light turquoise shade adds a calm, fresh note of colour while still pairing easily with a simple wardrobe. It works well for autumn and winter if you want head coverage without a stiff, technical look. If you are looking for a very fluffy beanie or one intended specifically for hard frost without an extra hood or scarf, this model may feel too moderate.
How it feels against the skin
I used 100% Baby Merino here — a yarn chosen with direct skin contact in mind. The knit is smooth, without a fuzzy halo, and according to its specifications it is also suitable for sensitive skin. The yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, which confirms it has been tested for harmful substances.
As with any wool, comfort remains individual, so if you are highly sensitive to texture, it is worth considering your own previous experience with merino.
Shape and fit
This is a close-fitting beanie with a turn-up brim, handmade on a knitting machine. The single rib structure gives it an elastic, neat fit, and the folded brim defines the line around the forehead and ears. This shape is a good choice if you prefer a beanie that sits close to the head rather than a loose, slouchy fit.
Key details in everyday use
- 100% Baby Merino – the beanie can be worn directly against the skin, including when a gentler material feel matters to you.
- Medium weight – gives coverage for autumn and winter without the effect of a very heavy, bulky hat.
- Turn-up brim – adds coverage around the lower part and helps keep a more stable fit around the ears.
- Single rib – improves flexibility, so the shape adjusts better to the head.
- Smooth surface without fuzz – the style has a clean, neat look and does not give the effect of a fluffy knit.
- Pilling resistance: medium – with regular wear, it is worth keeping in mind that the surface may not remain completely unchanged over time.
- Hand wash – requires gentler care, but this is standard for a merino beanie and helps it keep its shape.
Extras and care
If you would like to change the character of this style, you can choose a matching pom-pom for your beanie in the same yarn colour. You can also pair it with matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you would like a coordinated set for colder days.
To care for this merino wool beanie, stick to gentle hand washing. A short guide is available here: how to care for wool.
