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.
