What is Merino wool?

Merino wool is a natural fibre that absorbs moisture without feeling damp. It wicks away the trapped moisture to the outer layers, preventing any drop in body temperature and naturally delivering a feeling of warmth and, above all, dryness. Merino wool also has antibacterial properties, preventing any unwanted body odour. It is also finer than conventional wool and is therefore much less scratchy.

How sustainable is Merino wool?

Merino sheep can be shorn up to twice a year and shed up to ten kilos of wool per year. It is a renewable raw material that is more resource- and environmentally friendly than synthetic materials.

The outstanding qualities of Merino wool make it perfect for the coming autumn and winter months. Merino wool fabrics are particularly suitable for outdoor activities like hiking or skiing. Even when you sweat, the wool wicks away moisture to the outer layers, keeping your skin feeling dry and comfortable. What’s more, the temperature-regulating fibres of Merino wool provide excellent insulation from the cold. Combining it with silk makes the material even finer and more sophisticated.
