What is Merino Wool?
If you haven’t worn Merino wool clothing yet, you’ll soon be converted. Merino is a versatile material with loads of exceptional features. The fabric comes from the fleece of Merino sheep, a tough breed known for producing particularly fine and silky wool.
Merino wool is highly valued in the textile industry. Why? Because it’s soft, warm but breathable, anti-allergenic, moisture and odour-resistant, sustainable, and its naturally temperature-regulating so you won’t overheat or feel the chill. Plus, the final garment looks extra refined thanks to the wool’s high quality.
Overall, Merino wool is a popular choice if you want clothes and accessories that are natural, comfortable, and refined.
What Is Merino Wool Used For?
As its properties are so adaptable, Merino wool is used for lots of different clothing. From hats and gloves to even blankets and throws - all of them can be made with Merino. Merino wool suits and waistcoats. Now that’s sharp.
Key Benefits Of Merino Wool
Merino wool: it’s a superhero among fibres. Fine, warm, and ultra-soft, it's exceedingly comfortable next to the skin. But Merino's high-tech benefits go so much further than that, and it's all thanks to those tough sheep.
Here’s what we love about Merino, and why it’s preferred over synthetic fibres:

Smooth Operator
Due to its soft, fine texture, Merino wool is non-allergenic, so it won’t make you itch. It’s a perfect fabric choice for people with sensitive skin, allergies, or conditions like eczema. The strands are only about a third of a human hair’s diameter, making it so comfortable you can even wear your best Merino sweater without a shirt underneath. Thanks to its fineness and elasticity, Merino wool also isn’t prone to wrinkling. Some garments may need light ironing, but you can mostly get away with air drying.

Merino wool has a naturally crimped appearance and feel. This gives it more stretch and durability, as well as the warmth. As the fibres from this wool are naturally long, they’re also stronger than other fabrics. This means you won’t easily get holes in your favourite Merino jumper. Nice.

How To Care For Your Merino Wool Jumper
As your Merino wool garments are odour-resistant, you won’t need to wash them that often. Merino is easy to clean when the time comes, though.
Here’s what to do:
- Take out contents from any pockets, do up any zips, and turn the garment inside out.
- To hand wash - which is the best option for Merino wool items - soak for 10 to 20 minutes in a bowl of lukewarm water, adding a little detergent. Gently wash the item with your hands and rinse well in fresh water. Gently squeeze out excess water - you don’t want to wring the fabric.
- To machine wash, use the delicate setting and don’t use a temperature higher than 30˚C. Use a gentle liquid detergent.
- To dry the garment, hang it up or lay it flat. Never put in the tumble dryer.
- Store where the moths can’t get in. They just love wool!
Difference Between Merino Wool And Cashmere
Merino comes from sheep’s fleece and cashmere from goat hair. After ages of honing Merino breeding, the wool is finer and softer than cashmere. Its pliability makes Merino wool machine washable and easy to look after, while cashmere is sensitive to washing.
There are also differences in where the materials come from. Cashmere is produced in China and Mongolia, while the globe’s Merino wool comes from places like Spain, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile. Lastly, Merino sheep provide more wool than cashmere goats.
