Merino wool

Wool has several properties that makes it fantastic to use in different conditions and temperatures. Studies have shown that fine merino wool has a soothing effect on those with sensitive skin and atopic eczema. Even those who struggle with sweat should consider upgrading their wardrobe with merino clothes.

Wool, nature's own product 

Different sheep breeds produce different wool. The grazing areas of the sheep have an impact on the sheep's wool, so you will get different wool from different parts of the world. The properties of the wool depend on the thickness of the wool (degree of coarseness) and the length of the wool. The longest and finest wool will be soft against the skin, while thicker wool fiber is more robust and durable. 

Wool can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture, and you will therefore not feel damp or cold even when you are wet. The wool fiber itself is frizzy and the more curls wool fiber has, the more air the wool will hold on to. The reason why wool retains heat well is because of the air that is trapped around the fiber, which gets heated by our body. 

Wool is temperature-regulating and therefore the wool's fibers will regulate themselves according to body temperature. If you dress up in the multi-layer principle, the wool will insulate and retain heat in different weather conditions. A thin and tight-fitting underwear in merino wool is soft and comfortable against the skin and is useful on colder days. 

With a natural product such as wool, you get clothes that breathe, are temperature-regulating, wrinkle-resistant and elastic. Wool is the most recycled and popular fiber on the market. Wool has several advantages as it's naturally degradable, renewable and doesn't need to be washed often, just hang it out between each use.
