| 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 turn-up brim and a smooth surface without a fuzzy halo. Availability depends on the size you choose — click the variant to check whether it is ready to ship or made to order.
Best for which days and needs
This is a merino wool beanie for those looking for a style for the cooler part of the year, but without a heavy, very chunky knit. It works well for everyday wear in autumn and winter, including when a calmer feel against the skin matters. With its close-fitting shape, it pairs well with a classic coat, a jacket, and everyday city layers. If you are looking for a beanie specifically for hard frost and very windy conditions, a thicker, denser style will be a better choice.
Yarn and feel against the skin
I used 100% Baby Merino — a yarn often chosen when softness and a clean, non-hairy surface matter. In practice, this gives a calmer feel around the face and forehead than more rustic, scratchier wools. The yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.
Like any wool, it needs careful care — before washing, it is worth reading this short guide: how to care for wool.
Shape and how it sits
This is a turn-up beanie, meaning it fits close to the head but has a soft reserve of height that creates a more relaxed line at the top. The folded brim gives the edge at the forehead a neater finish and visually balances the shape. This kind of cut usually looks best when the top is slightly elongated rather than sitting completely flat. If you prefer a very short, sporty beanie with no extra height at the top, this style may sit differently than you expect.
What this means in wear
- 100% Baby Merino – a good choice where natural yarn and a pleasant feel against the skin matter.
- Medium weight – gives coverage for autumn and winter without the feel of a very heavy, bulky hat.
- Smooth knit surface without fuzz – the beanie has a cleaner visual look and no fluffy effect.
- Single rib knit – the fabric has some give when you put it on and adapts better to the shape of the head.
- Turn-up brim – the forehead and ears get an extra layer of fabric in the most sensitive area.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – the structure is even and consistent, while the finishing keeps the character of handmade work.
- Pilling resistance: medium – with regular wear, typical signs of use may appear over time, especially in areas exposed to friction.
Extras and practical finishing touches
If you would like to change the character of the 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 from the same accessory category.
