An understated natural fibre, wool is both complex and exceedingly versatile and allows the discerning wearer to step out in style on the coldest of winter days. In particular, our Merino Wool is recognised as the most luxurious of wools due to its enduring strength and softness. This type of wool enables us to methodically craft an array of knits that sit close to the skin and can be worn as a base layer or a standout single piece.
“Naturally flexible and tactile, Merino Wool will return back to its original shape if twisted or bent and quality Merino Wool will last you a lifetime if well looked after.”
Wool is well renowned within the flooring, insulation and fashion industries, thus highlighting its adaptability. Naturally flexible and tactile, Merino Wool will return back to its original shape if twisted or bent and quality Merino Wool will last you a lifetime if well looked after. In addition, our Merino Wool will resist dirt and grease as the small woollen particles rub against each other removing any trace of dirt.
Wool’s leading purpose is to maintain a sheep’s bodily heat and quite extraordinarily, the fibre continues to exhibit this action even when shorn. When worn, Merino Wool helps us to regulate an even temperature through absorbing moisture such as, perspiration and releasing it into the atmosphere – this is due to wool being made up of keratin, a strong natural protein that can also be found in human hair. This makes Merino Wool a great choice to wear during both the summer and winter months as it will prevent the feeling of damp when hot and insulate during colder spells.
