What sets apart normal wool from merino wool?

The magic of merino wool lies in its ultra-fine fibres, making garments exceptionally soft on the skin without any itchiness. Merino wool is also surprisingly flexible and durable, guaranteeing you years of enjoyment. Wool is one of humanity's oldest clothing materials, adept at adapting to your body temperature, keeping you warm on chilly days and cool on summer ones. This versatility makes merino wool perfect for all seasons.

How animal-friendly is merino wool?

In the past, merino sheep underwent a painful process called mulesing, where skin was removed from their hindquarters and tails without anaesthesia to prevent infections and parasites. Thankfully, more sheep farmers and brands are now opting for animal-friendly practices. Suitable partners only with suppliers who respect the well-being of both sheep and their environment. When making a purchase, look for the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certification to ensure you're investing in ethically produced wool.

How often should you wash merino wool?

Less than you think. Merino wool is naturally antibacterial and odour-resistant, meaning it stays fresh even after multiple wears. Sometimes, airing it out is all it needs to refresh. Only wash merino wool when necessary, like for stains, at a maximum of 30°C and 600 RPM, avoiding the dryer. Let the garment dry flat to maintain its shape.

Can you be allergic to merino wool?

Merino wool is an ideal choice for those with sensitive skin or who find wool irritating. Merino wool fibres are incredibly fine and pliable, ensuring no itchiness or skin irritation. True wool allergies are rare. It's often rough wool causing perceived allergies, whereas in some cases, allergic reactions can stem from chemicals used in wool processing. Generally, merino wool undergoes natural processing keeping it skin-friendly.

Why is merino wool so expensive?

Merino wool commands a premium over regular wool due to its unique and sought-after properties.
