Why Merino Wool?

Merino wool is a natural product, renewable and sustainable which benefits our planet and its wellbeing.

Created by nature to protect sheep against the extremes of their environment - from freezing winters to scorching summers - the inherent properties of wool fibre make it a very smart choice for humans as well. Using 100% merino wool in our clothing means you experience one of nature’s finest fibres knitted into our very own unique fabrics.

What makes merino wool such an incredible renewable fibre is that it requires relatively little processing before it turns into an end-product. Merino wool is pretty much perfect when it comes off the sheep.

Benefits of Merino

Our fine merino fabric naturally breathes helping to regulate body temperature, warming you when cold and cooling you when hot.

Merino fabric is naturally anti-bacterial and odour resistant so you can feel confident amongst others in warm conditions. Merino is naturally flame retardant and static resistant.

Our fine merino clothing is easy to care for. Dirt does not easily adhere to the fabric and minor spills can be easily wiped away. Machine washable and quick drying. Garments are lightweight, not bulky and ideal to pack for holidays, or wear indoors and outdoors.
