| 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 100% Baby Merino beanie in a medium weight, designed for autumn and winter, with a smooth surface and a close fit. Availability depends on the size you choose — click your selected variant to check whether it is ready to ship or made to order.
When this is a good choice
This style is for those looking for a merino wool beanie for everyday wear in the colder season and who do not want to give up the feel of a natural fibre against the skin. It works well in autumn and winter when you want coverage without a heavy, bulky shape. The calm blue colour pairs easily with an everyday wardrobe. If you need a very thick beanie for hard frost and long periods spent standing still outdoors, a fuller, heavier style will be a better choice.
How it feels to wear
I used 100% Baby Merino here — a yarn chosen with gentle contact against the skin in mind. The smooth knit, without a fuzzy surface, helps reduce the “itchy” feel, which makes this style suitable for sensitive skin as well.
As with any wool, comfort is individual, so if you are very sensory-sensitive, it is worth taking your own previous experience with merino into account.
How it sits on the head
This is a close-fitting beanie with a turn-up, so it holds a neat line at the forehead and ears while still keeping a soft, everyday character. The folded brim gives the shape more structure and visually stabilises the lower part of the beanie. The single rib adds elasticity, so the beanie adapts better on the head than a smooth knit with little stretch. If you are looking for a very loose oversized fit, this shape may sit too close to the head.
Key points for everyday wear
- 100% Baby Merino – gives you the feel of a natural fibre with no added blends, which many people find more pleasant to wear.
- Medium weight – suitable from chilly autumn days into winter, without the feel of a very heavy beanie.
- Smooth knit with no halo – the beanie has a clean, tidy look rather than a fluffy finish.
- Single rib – adds elasticity, so the beanie adjusts better during wear and when putting it on.
- Turn-up brim – reinforces the area around the ears and forehead, which in practice improves the feeling of coverage on colder days.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – helps preserve the even, refined knit structure typical of carefully made handmade work.
- Pilling resistance: medium – with regular use, signs of natural wear may appear over time, as is typical of finer wools.
Extras and practical information
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.
The yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100. This style requires hand washing; a short wool care guide will help you keep the shape and appearance of the knit through the coming seasons.
