Collection: Merino Wool

Merino is the wool you wear right against your skin. The fiber is much finer than regular sheep’s wool – that’s the whole difference, and you feel it right away.

2 products

Fine, soft, and true to shape

Merino wool is much finer than regular sheep’s wool. That’s why most people find it comfortable even right against the skin – and it keeps its shape, even after many winters. It’s often recommended for baby clothes and anything worn close to the body.

Still small, but carefully chosen

This selection is deliberately small – we only include yarns in which merino really sets the tone rather than just being part of the blend.

Care

Hand wash at 30 °C with wool detergent, dry flat, do not wring.

Our guide How to Wash Wool explains what matters with merino and how to wash your knits without felting them.
