Frequently Asked Questions
Merino Wool FAQs
Does merino wool itch?
Most people find merino wool soft and comfortable against the skin. If your skin is very sensitive, merino wool blended with silk may feel even gentler.
Does merino wool keep you warm without overheating?
Yes. Merino wool helps regulate body temperature, keeping you comfortably warm while adapting to changes in activity and temperature.
Is merino wool suitable for sports?
Yes. Merino wool manages moisture well and feels comfortable during physical activity, making it a great choice for sports, hiking and everyday movement.
Does merino wool absorb odours?
Merino wool naturally resists odour build-up compared with many synthetic fabrics. Often, simply airing the garment is enough between wears.
How should merino clothing fit?
A merino base layer works best when worn close to the body. If you prefer a more relaxed look and feel, choose a looser-fitting style.
Can merino wool shrink?
Yes, merino wool may shrink if washed at too high a temperature or on an unsuitable cycle. Always follow the care instructions and avoid tumble drying.
Can merino wool be tumble dried?
No. We do not recommend tumble drying merino wool. For best results, allow the garment to dry naturally.
Can merino wool pill?
Some pilling may occur, especially when the fabric rubs against synthetic materials or rough surfaces. Any pills can be gently removed with a wool comb or fabric shaver suitable for wool.
What do OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 and mulesing-free mean?
OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 means the fabric has been tested for harmful substances and is suitable for wearing close to the skin.
Mulesing-free means the wool comes from sheep that have not undergone the mulesing procedure, making it a more animal-friendly choice.
Merino Wool & Silk FAQs
When should I choose merino wool with silk?
It’s a great choice when you want an especially comfortable base layer. Silk adds extra softness, while merino wool helps maintain warmth and breathability.
Is merino wool with silk suitable for very sensitive skin?
Often, yes. Silk makes the fabric feel even softer against the skin, so this blend is a popular choice for people who find 100% merino wool too sensitive.
Can merino wool with silk be worn as a base layer?
Yes. It is designed to be worn directly against the skin. A closer fit helps the fabric regulate temperature more effectively.
How does merino wool with silk handle moisture?
The fabric helps absorb and manage moisture, keeping you comfortable while moving. It also tends to feel dry for longer than many synthetic fabrics.
Does merino wool with silk resist odours?
Merino wool naturally resists odour build-up, so the garment does not always need to be washed after every wear. Often, airing it out is enough.
How should I care for merino wool with silk?
Wash on a wool cycle using a detergent suitable for wool. Avoid tumble drying and allow the garment to dry naturally. Always follow the care instructions on the label.
Is the fabric certified?
Yes. We use merino wool with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification. The wool is also mulesing-free.
Linen FAQs
Is linen suitable for hot weather?
Yes. Linen is breathable and helps you feel cooler, making it especially comfortable in warm weather. Some customers also enjoy wearing linen at home or for sleeping during the cooler months.
Is linen itchy or suitable for sensitive skin?
New linen can feel slightly crisp at first, but it becomes softer with wear and washing. For many people, this is one of the most comfortable natural fabrics for warmer weather.
Does linen wrinkle?
Yes. Wrinkling is a natural characteristic of linen and part of its relaxed look. If you prefer a smoother finish, iron the garment while it is still slightly damp.
Does linen shrink after washing?
Linen may shrink slightly, especially when washed at high temperatures. Following the care instructions helps the garment keep its shape.
How should I wash linen to keep it looking good?
Wash on a gentle cycle and avoid intensive spinning. Allow the garment to air dry, either hanging or laid flat, to help reduce unnecessary wear on the fabric.
Is linen see-through?
It depends on the colour and fabric weight. Lighter shades may be slightly more transparent, especially in bright light.
Is linen only for summer?
No. Linen is cooling in warm weather, but it can also be layered with knitwear or a jacket when temperatures are lower.
Does linen fade?
To help preserve the colour, wash similar colours together and avoid very hot water and intensive drying.
