MERINO WOOL: THE COVETABLE MATERIAL

What is Merino wool? Merino wool is a premium natural fiber known for its softness, warmth, and versatility. Sourced from Merino sheep, it’s ultra-fine and gentle on the skin, offering cosy insulation while remaining lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking. Naturally odor-resistant and durable, Merino wool is perfect for layering in colder months, combining practicality with timeless style for effortless comfort.

Washing Merino wool requires a gentle touch to maintain its softness, durability, and natural properties. Here are some tips to ensure your Merino wool knitwear stays in top condition:

1. Check the Care Label
• Always start by reading the care label on your garment. Some Merino wool items are machine washable, while others may require hand washing or dry cleaning.

2. Machine Washing (if allowed)
• Use a gentle cycle: Opt for a wool, delicate, or cold-water setting on your washing machine to protect the fabric.
• Choose a mild detergent: Select a wool-specific or pH-neutral detergent to preserve the fibers' integrity.
• Stick to cold water: Always wash with cold water to prevent shrinkage or damage to the wool.
• Avoid fabric softeners & bleach: These products can weaken the fibers and strip away natural properties such as moisture-wicking.

3. Hand Washing
• Fill a basin with lukewarm water: Ensure the water temperature is cool to protect the fabric.
• Add a wool detergent: Mix in a small amount specifically designed for wool.
• Gently agitate the garment: Submerge the item and gently swirl it in the water for a few minutes. Avoid harsh movements like rubbing, wringing, or stretching.
• Rinse thoroughly: Replace the water with fresh, cool water and rinse until all detergent is removed.

4. Drying
• Reshape while damp: Lay the garment flat on a clean towel and gently reshape it to its original form. Avoid wringing or twisting.
• Remove excess water: Roll the garment up in the towel and press gently to absorb moisture.
• Air dry flat: Place the garment on a drying rack or a dry towel, ensuring it is laid flat. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources like radiators.

5. Avoid Shrinkage & Damage
• Avoid tumble drying: The heat from a dryer can cause Merino wool to shrink or lose its shape.
Do not hang to dry: Hanging can stretch the fabric, resulting in misshapen garments.

6. Storing Merino wool
• Store clean & dry: Always store clean, dry garments in an airtight container or bag to protect them from moth damage.
• Use natural pest deterrents: Add cedar balls or lavender sachets to help keep pests at bay.
