Merino wool comes from the merino sheep. This is a special breed whose external characteristic is the twisted horns.

The wool of merino sheep has 10 times as many hairs per centimeter compared to regular wool. This creates a very fine structure. This makes the wool soft and ensures that it does not itch.
Good merino wool remains supple, even after intensive use, due to the natural lanolin. Furthermore, the wool is naturally breathable and does not absorb unpleasant odors.
Many people cannot tolerate regular wool. Sometimes this even leads to allergic reactions. Very often, people who are allergic to regular wool can tolerate merino wool very well.

Some facts about Merino wool and the Merino sheep:

Merino wool comes from the merino sheep

Merino wool comes from a special type of sheep, the merino sheep. Originally from Spain and first discovered in the 12th century. Merino sheep adapt very well to their environment. This makes them particularly good at surviving cold and harsh climates. A bit of a super sheep!

Merino wool always gives the perfect temperature

Merino wool is widely used in sports and thermal clothing because it has many qualities that suit an active lifestyle. For example, merino wool is particularly good at retaining body heat without the body becoming too warm.

Merino wool keeps you dry

Merino wool is particularly good at keeping the body dry due to its moisture-regulating and absorbent effect.

Merino wool does not itch

Unlike regular wool, merino wool does not itch thanks to its higher density. Moreover, it feels much softer, which prevents irritation to the skin.

Merino wool washes itself

Lanolin is a natural substance found in merino wool. This natural substance has naturally antibacterial properties.

Merino wool always keeps you warm

While some fabrics retain less heat when they get wet, merino wool also retains body heat.

Merino wool is super soft

Merino wool can vary greatly in thickness. The wool can sometimes be so soft that some “harvests” are used in a mix with fragile yarns such as silk to make luxurious soft clothing.

At what degrees do you wash merino wool in the washing machine?

Never wash merino wool warmer than 30 degrees. You then damage and deform the wool fiber, which can cause your woolen garment to shrink and/or felt. For the same reason, use a wool washing program that slowly heats up to 30º so that the wool gradually gets used to the temperature and does not immediately jump into a spiral perm. A wool washing program also washes your merino wool with fewer revolutions and therefore less friction, especially to prevent felting.

Can you dry merino wool near the heater?

Wool is shocked by sudden temperature changes: it loses its frizzy fiber structure and with it almost everything that makes merino wool so nice. That heating, no matter how tempting, is really not recommended for your merino wool. Bright sun also has the same devastating effect on wet wool. You dry wool 'in the air', preferably outside with a gentle breeze.
