Why buy merino?

Had lots of questions about the qualities of merino and why should go with that over acrylic. So I thought I would share some info from my live Instagram feeds with you..... Merino is hypoallergenic so if an allergy suffer or have a skin condition such as psoriasis it's great for you

▪️

SOFT

Merino fibres are extremely fine, enabling them to bend far more than traditional, coarser wool fibres. This makes Merino wool feel soft and luxuriously gentle next to your skin

▪️

ELASTIC

Natural elasticity helps Merino wool garments stretch with you, yet return to their original shape. So Merino wool clothing is ideal to wear when exercising.

▪️

BREATHABLE

Merino fibres can absorb large quantities of moisture vapour then move it away to evaporate into the air. So Merino wool clothing is extremely breathable and less prone to clamminess.

▪️

WARM AND COOL

In contrast to synthetics, Merino is an active fibre that reacts to changes in body temperature. So it helps you stay warm when the weather is cold, and cool when the weather is hot.

▪️

STATIC RESISTANT

Because Merino wool can absorb moisture vapour, it tends not to create static electricity, helping it to drape beautifully and be less likely to cling uncomfortably to your body than other fabrics.

▪️

ODOUR RESISTANT

In contrast to synthetics, Merino wool can absorb moisture vapour which means less sweat on your body. Merino wool even absorbs the odours from sweat, which are then released when cleaned.

▪️

STAIN RESISTANT

Merino fibres have a natural protective outer layer that prevents stains from being absorbed. And because Merino wool tends not to generate static, it attracts less dust!
