| 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 turn-up beanie is a handmade merino wool beanie in a medium weight for autumn and winter, with a wide folded brim and a smooth knit surface. You can check availability after clicking your size — you’ll see whether the piece is ready to ship or made to order.
When it’s worth choosing this style
This style works well if you’re looking for a beanie for colder days, but without a very heavy, bulky feel. The powder pink shade and smooth finish create a calm, clean look that is easy to pair with everyday clothing. It’s a good option if you want to wear wool with a gentler feel against the skin. If you need a hat mainly for severe frost or more technical protection in demanding conditions, the medium weight may feel too moderate.
What matters in contact with the skin
This model is made from 100% Baby Merino. When choosing yarns, I pay attention to how they feel in everyday wear around the face and forehead, so the yarn used here is described as suitable for sensitive skin, and its smooth surface does not create a fuzzy effect.
Like any wool, it needs proper care — before washing, it’s worth taking a look at this short guide: how to care for wool.
How it sits on the head
This is a close-fitting beanie, but thanks to its beanie shape it doesn’t look stiff and keeps a slightly relaxed line at the top. The folded brim gives structure around the forehead and ears, while the single rib helps the beanie move naturally with the knit. This shape works well if you want a stable fit without extra volume. If you prefer very loose, deeply slouchy styles, this model may feel more structured.
Key features in everyday wear
- 100% Baby Merino – offers a natural, soft feel against the skin and works well when reducing itchiness matters.
- Medium weight – provides warmth suited to autumn and winter without the feel of a very heavy beanie.
- Turn-up construction – gives extra coverage around the forehead and ears, where cold is often felt most.
- Single rib – improves the knit’s elasticity, so the beanie adapts better in wear.
- Smooth surface without fuzz – creates a cleaner visual effect and reduces the fluffy look typical of some winter yarns.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – helps maintain an even, tidy structure across the whole beanie.
- Pilling resistance: medium – with regular wear, the knit may naturally show signs of use over time.
Extras and practical additions
If you’d like a beanie with pom-pom, a pom-pom made from the same yarn is available, so the colour and texture stay consistent throughout. You can also choose matching shawls, wraps and snoods to complete the set. The yarn used is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, which confirms it has been tested for harmful substances.
