Benefits of Extra Fine Merino Wool

Naturally Adaptive: Merino wool is a reactive fibre, adapting to your body temperature to keep you warm in cold conditions and cool in warmer weather.
Superior Thermoregulation: Its outstanding thermoregulating and moisture-wicking properties ensure that you stay dry and comfortable throughout the day.
Odour Resistance: Merino’s natural bacteria-friendly environment helps prevent odours, keeping you fresh for longer.
Lightweight and Insulating: Merino wool offers excellent insulation while remaining lightweight, protecting you from windchill without the bulk.
Crease-Resistant: The fabric holds its colour and shape, making it incredibly easy to pack and travel with.
Sustainable Choice: As a renewable, carbon-neutral fibre, extra fine merino wool is an environmentally conscious option, offering luxury with a low ecological footprint.

Wash Care Instructions for Merino Wool

Due to merino wool's natural antimicrobial properties, your garments won't need frequent washing. We recommend rinsing with cool water and spot cleaning stains. Refresh between washes by gently steaming.

Hand wash with mild detergent, wool wash, or baby shampoo.
Lay flat to dry on a towel to maintain the shape.
Use a gentle iron with slow steam for finishing.
To refresh your knitwear between wears and neutralise odours, use a steam iron to keep the knit looking fresh. Steam ironing reduces the need for frequent washing, making merino wool ideal for travel.
Do not tumble dry, as merino wool will shrink in the dryer.

Why Hand Wash Only?

Machine-washable merino is often treated with synthetic chemicals, which degrade over time, leading to pilling and loss of shape. Hand washing helps preserve the wool's natural integrity, ensuring longer-lasting, environmentally friendly wear.
