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 proper soil conditions.
