It’s super-fine and soft. A single Merino wool fiber is ⅓ the diameter of a human hair. It’s so fine, actually, that when it brushes up against skin, it bends out of the way.

It can’t be prickly like other wool fibers because it can’t stand up to the weight of itself. So it’s soft.

Really soft.

Our wool fibres can absorb large quantities of water vapour – twice as much as cotton and thirty times as much as polyester – helping to keep the skin drier and prevent the build-up of sweat, bacteria and unpleasant smells.

The unique chemical structure of cashmere and merino wool also enables it to absorb and lock away odours which may develop, and only release them on washing.

As wool absorbs moisture from the atmosphere, a natural chemical process in the wool releases heat, warming the wearer by regulating body heat tempratures.

This same process has a cooling effect when warm, it absorbs heat from the wearer and pockets of air created by the fiber traps cool air, insulating the wearer from hot outside temperatures.
