Merino wool

Our merino wool is RWS certified, which ensures that the wool farmer meets the standards for animal welfare, land management, and social responsibility. Additionally, the spinning mill from which we purchase the yarns is also RWS certified.

Merino wool is highly valued for its softness, comfort, as well as its moisture-regulating properties that have a warming and cooling effect. It's also antimicrobial, making it odor-resistant. To maintain these benefits it's important to care for your merino wool garments properly.

Airing out and Steaming

A merino wool garment doesn't need to be washed often due to the natural properties mentioned above. Before washing, hang your garment outside to air out overnight. This will help extend the lifespan of your garment and reduce the need for washing.

If you need to remove creases or refresh your garment, a hand steamer can be helpful. We recommend keeping some distance between the steamer and the garment to prevent damage.

Washing and Drying

If you notice a stain, it's important to clean it immediately, as wool stains can become permanent. You can spot-clean the stain or wash the garment with a wool detergent. Be sure not to use bleach or fabric softeners as they can damage the merino wool fibers. Our merino wool garments come with a hand wash label, but you can also use a gentle wool cycle in the washing machine. 

After washing it's crucial to avoid tumble drying your merino wool garments. Instead, remove excess water by gently pressing the garment with a towel and lay it flat to dry. If your garment is dry enough, you can hang-dry it on a hanger.

Pilling and Storing

Pilling is a natural process of merino wool fabrics and does not indicate poor quality. To remove pills from your garment, we recommend using a fabric shaver. Always fold your merino wool garments to maintain their shape, and store them with natural moth repellents to prevent any damage.
