Merino Wool
We work with Cashwool, the highest quality Extrafine Merino wool, used for more than thirty years by luxury knitwear manufacturers around the world. It is reusable, biodegradable, durable....and it feels amazing against your skin. The breathability of Merino wool means that it will keep you warm during winter and cool in the summer. That natural capacity for regulating body temperature, allows for the opportunity to invest in fewer clothes that keep you comfortable in any weather. Merino wool also resists odour, bacteria and stains, meaning that it does not have to be washed as frequently or as rigorously as synthetics.
It’s strength, elasticity, fluidity, low pilling factor together with the extraordinary soft texture place it beyond even the finest types of cashmere, it retains its shape after years of stretch, wear and repeated washing.
TIP: Airing your merino overnight will usually freshen it for the following day
We ensure that all wools are from non-mulesed sheep, they are thoroughly cared for to the highest standard; diet and stress levels are extremely important. Happy sheep = a quality yarn.
