| 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 cuff and a smooth knit surface. You can check availability after clicking your size – that is where you will see whether a given option is ready to ship or made to order.
What conditions and needs it suits
This style is for those looking for a merino wool beanie with a calm, clean look and a soft feel against the skin. It works well for everyday wear from cool autumn through winter, when you want protection without a heavy, bulky shape. Lavender Frost is a muted purple that does not dominate an outfit, but has a clearly cool tone. If you need a beanie for severe frost or very demanding winter conditions, the medium weight may not be enough.
Yarn and feel against the skin
This style is made from 100% Baby Merino. In my experience, this type of yarn often works well for people who are more cautious about wool, and here the smooth, non-hairy surface and the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certification are an added advantage.
It is still wool, so if you have individual sensory sensitivity, it is always best to judge the feel based on your own tolerance.
A shape that sits neatly without extra volume
This is a turn-up beanie with a close-fitting beanie shape. The cuff gives a neater line around the forehead and ears, while the overall look stays simple and practical, without a fluffy finish or a loose, soft shape. The rib knit gives the fabric elasticity, so the beanie moves with the knit and holds its shape better with everyday wear. If you are looking for a very slouchy hat, this style will feel more fitted than loose.
Key features in everyday wear
- 100% Baby Merino – gives a soft, natural feel against the skin, which can make it easier to wear for people who are careful about traditional wool.
- Medium weight – suited to the autumn–winter season without the feel of a heavy, very thick beanie.
- Single rib knit – adds elasticity to the fabric, so the shape adapts better in wear.
- Turn-up cuff – adds extra coverage to the lower part of the beanie, which matters in cold weather around the forehead and ears.
- Smooth surface without fuzz – gives a cleaner visual effect and does not create a fluffy halo around the face.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – allows me to maintain a consistent stitch and control over the finishing of the style.
- Moderate pilling resistance – with regular use, natural signs of fibre wear may appear over time, which is typical of delicate wool.
Extras and useful additions
If you would like to change the look 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 want a coordinated set for the colder season.
Wool needs gentle care, so this style should be hand washed; you can find a short guide here: wool care.
