The thought is that companies like to put in a little bit of merino wool to advertise it as merino wool, then charge prices as if it were 100% merino wool. For a beanie, it probably does not matter.

I thought it was better to have a blend, rather than 100% merino. Is that not the case?

Depends what you want. Me personally, I'm trying to buy all natural fibers, like wool, cotton, silk, etc. Trying to avoid plastic on my skin altogether. There are exceptions for me, like waterproof clothing. I want a proper membrane (which will have plastics) for a ski shell, but technically the shell isn't real touching my skin. High end wool and cotton are amazing materials and not cheap. Trying to reduce the use of plastic as much as I can. You know microplastics, blah blah blah.

If you don't care about any of that, then use plastics like nylon, polyester, polyurethane, polyamide, spandex, etc; they will perform just as well, if not better, at keeping you dry and warm.

It definitely annoys me that a company with "wool" in their name have products with only 30% wool. But I get it, by providing cheaper blends they can reach more buyers.
