Blended fibers take on properties of the joining counterparts to achieve uniquely desirable characteristics.
Silk is known for its luxurious drape, luster and ability to take rich color. It is the strongest natural fiber and has low density, creating light and comfortable fabric. Silk’s resilient elasticity maintains garment shape, and its smooth surface is resistant to attracting dirt. Silk keeps you cool in warm weather, and provides insulating warmth in cool weather.
Merino wool fibers are extremely fine and flexible, making lightweight yarns that are soft on skin. It is lustrous and moves with body, creating comfort and luxurious drape. Like all wool, it is a renewable fiber. It provides warmth while simultaneously transporting moisture away from the body so skin stays dry. It is naturally antimicrobial, so it resists odors and rarely needs washing. When you do wash Merino, it dries faster than standard wool. The exceptional durability of wool allows for long garment lifespan, and it can biodegrade when disposed into right soil conditions.
