Merino wool. Flattering to the skin

It warms in winter, is pleasantly cool in summer, and flatters the skin - merino wool is a unique, sustainable natural product with numerous highly functional properties. The extremely fine virgin wool comes from merino sheep, which are among the oldest and most resilient sheep breeds in the world. Their original home is the mountainous regions of North Africa. There they have to withstand sometimes extreme temperature differences - not only between summer and winter, but also between day and night. The tough animals are protected from adverse conditions at all times by the temperature-equalizing properties of their wool.

Merino wool is a particularly high-quality virgin wool. Its lightweight and very fine fibers are highly crimped and elastic, which gives them a soft feel and excellent volume. Knitwear and woven fabrics made from it are soft, temperature-regulating, gentle on the skin, and durable. These benefits are also evident in our merino wool products. Whether hats, scarves, sweaters, socks, or blankets—you’ll feel completely comfortable from head to toe in our signature merino wool pieces. We’d be happy to explain exactly why this is the case:

• Merino wool is a renewable resource and completely biodegradable. The fiber naturally possesses these highly functional properties; they don’t need to be chemically engineered. And thanks to its durability, merino wool products perfectly embody our guiding principle: “Life is too long for short-lived products.”
• Merino wool is temperature-regulating. Its highly crimped structure creates many small air pockets within the fiber that trap air—an effective insulation that keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer.
• Merino wool is breathable. It can absorb a lot of moisture without feeling wet—up to 35% of its own weight. And thanks to the air pockets inside the fibers, moisture is quickly transported to the outside.
• Merino wool is particularly gentle on the skin, which is especially beneficial for clothing worn next to the skin. Even people with sensitive skin will feel comfortable in merino wool. The fiber does not irritate the skin because, on the one hand, it is very fine (between 16.5 and 24 microns) and, on the other hand, because it curls as soon as it comes into contact with the skin.
• Due to its overlapping scales and the lanolin it contains, the merino wool fiber is naturally both dirt- and water-repellent. This has the advantage that garments or blankets made of merino wool do not need to be washed as often.
• Merino wool is largely odor-neutralizing, as odor-causing bacteria have a hard time adhering to the scaly fiber surface. In addition, the keratin it contains helps break down bacteria.
• Merino wool clothing is easy to care for and doesn’t wrinkle—thanks to the elasticity of the fiber. Ironing is unnecessary; simply reshape the garment after washing and let it dry flat.
