Merino Wool has long fibres and is fine wool, which feels comfortable against the skin. This makes it suitable for thermal underwear and children’s clothing. The fibre in Merino wool wicks moisture, traps air and insulates for warmth. If the wool gets wet, it swells and becomes curlier. Therefore, the wet wool still feels warm, due to the air between the curly fibres. With our products, we only use “super-wash” Merino wool, which is machine washable. However, we do recommend wool wash detergent to get the best result. The bulk of the Merino wool we use is ethically produced mulesing-free wool. Mulesing means a painful surgical procedure done to the sheep to prevent parasite infections, which would affect the wool production.
