Advantages of Merino Wool

Merino wool is highly prized for its softness, warmth, and durability. It’s also naturally moisture-wicking and breathable, which makes it an ideal choice for knitwear. Unlike other wool types, Merino wool is fine and soft, which means it can be worn directly against the skin without causing any irritation or discomfort. It also has a natural elasticity that allows it to retain its shape even after repeated use.

In addition to its comfort and durability, Merino wool is also eco-friendly and sustainable. Unlike synthetic materials, Merino wool is biodegradable and renewable. Merino sheep also have a low impact on the environment, as they require minimal resources to thrive.
