How to Layer With Merino Wool?

What is Merino wool?

Merino wool is a type of natural fibre grown by Australian Merino sheep. It is a thinner and softer wool type, making it an ideal fabric choice as it’s gentle against the skin. Merino wool has a range of benefits when crafted into luxury clothing, like:

  • Super breathable fibre helps to regulate body temperature.
  • 100% biodegradable, renewable and natural.
  • Naturally wrinkle-resistant.
  • Anti-odour, antibacterial and non-allergenic.
  • Different Types of Merino Wool Garments
