Why should I choose merino wool clothing?
Soft and comfortable to wear
Choosing merino wool clothing can be an excellent decision for several reasons. Merino wool comes from the Merino sheep. This type of wool is known for its fine fibre structure, which makes it soft and comfortable to wear - even directly against the skin.
Merino wool is much softer than traditional wool. The fine fibres make the clothes itch-free, making merino wool ideal for underwear, t-shirts and other clothes that are in direct contact with the skin.
Wool is breathable and has excellent insulation properties
Another prominent feature of merino wool is its natural ability to regulate body temperature. The material has excellent breathability and insulation properties, allowing it to wick moisture away from the body and keep you dry and warm when it's cold outside and cool when temperatures rise. This makes merino wool a perfect choice for both winter and summer clothing.
A third reason to choose merino wool clothing is its moisture-wicking properties. Merino wool can absorb moisture up to 30% of its own weight without feeling damp, making it a great material for clothing. It helps you and your child stay dry and comfortable, even during physical activity.
Wool regenerates itself and has antibacterial properties
Merino wool is also naturally odour resistant. The antibacterial properties reduce the formation of odours, which means clothes can be worn for longer without having to be washed. This is practical and sustainable in a world where clothes are often washed a little too often frequently. Save on washing, hang the wool out to air overnight and it's ready to wear again. If the wool has stains, we always recommend using wool detergent to prolong the life of the wool.
Merino wool is a sustainable choice
Merino wool is a sustainable choice. Merino sheep are sheared once a year and the wool is biodegradable, which means that when your clothes are finally worn out, they will not have a harmful effect on the environment.
