Frequently Asked Questions

Merino wool comes from Merino sheep and has exceptionally fine fibers — typically 17 to 21 microns compared to 35–40 microns for standard wool (human hair is about 70 microns). This fineness means the fibers bend rather than prickle against skin, producing a softness unmatched by most natural fibers.

No. The itchiness of regular wool comes from coarse, rigid fibers that poke nerve endings in the skin. Merino fibers at 17–21 microns are fine enough to flex on contact, so they don't trigger that prickling sensation. Even people with sensitive skin or eczema can generally wear merino wool comfortably.

Yes — merino wool naturally regulates body temperature. The crimped fibers trap tiny air pockets for insulation in cold weather, while also wicking moisture away from skin and releasing it to cool you in warmer conditions. Merino can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture before feeling damp.

Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent, then press out water gently — never wring or twist. Lay flat on a clean towel to dry and reshape. Never hang wet merino (it will stretch) or tumble dry (heat causes shrinkage). Avoid bleach and fabric softener.

Merino wool is one of the most sustainable natural fibers available. It is 100% renewable (sheep are shorn annually without harm), fully biodegradable (breaking down in soil within about 15 weeks), and produces no microplastic pollution unlike synthetics. Its natural odor resistance also means garments need washing less frequently, saving water and energy.

Intarsia is a knitting technique that creates blocks of color within a single piece of fabric, rather than carrying yarn across the back. Each color section uses a separate length of yarn, resulting in a single-layer fabric that lies flat and shows a clean design on both sides. It requires considerable skill and patience.
