Not beanies, but watch caps. Watch caps are designed to turn up a wide cuff in milder weather, and can fold down over your ears and back of your neck in colder weather. I've worn watch caps since a boy, when I got a blue acrylic watch cap with a half ski mask that you could pull down in cold weather. The main drawback is the lack of a brim, which makes it a bit uncomfortable on both bright, sunny, days, and in a light mist. For this reason, and thinning hair, I wear one indoors at home, where we keep the temperature close to 68° F / 20° C in the winter. Used to wear one occasionally in the office, until lighting and equipment made it balmy the entire year.
All I've ever owned are acrylic, which is dictated by availability, not choice. OTOH, I do wonder about 100% wool. Wonder about the itch factor, though.
Have also wondered about "Jeep Caps," the visor type watch cap. If you've never seen one, it's the type worn by the character Radar O'Riley in M*A*S*H and Crapgame in Kelly's Heroes. It's only a slight brim, but might help shield eyes from both sun and mist.
