Benefits of Merino Wool

Merino wool is renowned for its exceptional characteristics, which make it a highly sought-after material in the textile industry. It is derived from Merino sheep, a breed known for its fine and soft wool. The fibres of Merino wool are much finer than those of regular wool, typically less than 22 microns in diameter, which contributes to its distinctive softness. This fine quality also allows for excellent breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities, making it ideal for garments worn close to the skin. Merino wool’s natural crimps create tiny air pockets that help regulate body temperature, keeping the wearer warm in cold conditions and cool in warmer environments. Additionally, Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, as it can absorb and lock away odors caused by bacteria, making it perfect for extended wear during outdoor activities or travel. Its biodegradable nature also means that it will decompose naturally, reducing environmental impact. With these properties, Merino wool provides a combination of comfort, practicality, and sustainability that is hard to match with synthetic fibres.

  • Wool is obtained exclusively from mills committed to the welfare of animals, ensuring that practices like mulesing are strictly avoided. We prioritize ethical sourcing, selecting partners who maintain the highest standards of animal care.

Taking additional care can significantly extend the durability of your creations. The yarns we provide are suitable for machine washing using a gentle, cool cycle, but for optimal preservation, we suggest hand-washing them in cold water with just a touch of wool detergent. To dry, arrange them on a flat surface, avoiding the use of a tumble dryer. It’s also wise to wash your test swatch, particularly when working with highly pigmented or contrasting hues.

Color Bleeding

Should you encounter any color bleeding, color transfer, or dye staining, there are several remedies available, tailored to the stage of completion of your knit or crochet piece.
