7 reasons why you should choose merino wool with silk for summer

When most people think of wool, they think of thick, heavy sweaters and cold winter days. However, merino wool is a versatile and adaptable material that is perfect for summer wear. When combined with silk, merino wool becomes the ultimate summer fabric, providing unparalleled comfort and style.

Merino wool is a natural fiber that comes from merino sheep. Merino wool is renowned for its softness, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, making it an excellent choice for summer wear. 

Silk is also a natural fiber that has been used in clothing for thousands of years. Silk is renowned for its luxurious feel, lightweight nature, and natural luster. When combined with merino wool, silk adds an extra level of elegance and sophistication to the fabric.


So, why is merino wool with silk the perfect summer fabric? 


Let's take a closer look at some of the benefits:


Breathability: Merino wool with silk is incredibly breathable, allowing air to circulate around the body and regulate your temperature. This means that you stay cool and comfortable, even on the hottest of summer days.


Moisture-wicking: Merino wool with silk is naturally moisture-wicking, meaning that it draws moisture away from the skin and evaporates it quickly. This keeps you dry and comfortable, even during high-intensity activities.


Due to these qualities of merino wool with silk, clothes made from this fabric are particularly suitable for babies. It’s important for baby skin that their clothes are made from natural and breathable fabrics that wick moisture away and leave the baby feeling dry. This prevents numerous rashes, including those caused by heat. Green Rose clothes made from merino wool with silk provide this kind of comfort to the baby.


Odor-resistant: Merino wool with silk is naturally resistant to odors, meaning that you can wear it multiple times without needing to wash it.



UV protection: Merino wool with silk has a high UV protection factor, meaning that it provides an extra layer of protection against the sun's harmful rays. This is especially important during outdoor activities.


Softness: Merino wool with silk is incredibly soft and gentle on the skin, making it comfortable to wear for extended periods. This is especially important during hot summer days when your skin may be more sensitive to rough or scratchy fabrics.


Style: Merino wool with silk has a luxurious and sophisticated look that is perfect for summer occasions. It's also versatile enough to be worn casually, making it a great addition to any summer wardrobe.


Green Rose offers clothes made from 75% merino wool and 25% silk to premature babies, babies, children, and women. Clothes made from this fabric are particularly popular in Germany. Here’s a review from one of our customers:

"I gave my friend in Germany some of your clothes as a gift. She was telling me that she put her baby into a sleepsuit that I gave her when a midwife came to check on them. When the midwife touched the clothes, she said, ‘Merino wool with silk! That’s the best choice’. She recommended my friend to use these clothes as long and as often as she can. These must be the best clothes a baby can wear, a true baby luxury wear! :) "



In comparison to a 100% merino wool, clothes made from merino wool with silk are lighter and cooler. Silk is what gives them these qualities, but when the weather gets colder the merino wool helps to keep you feeling warm and cosy.

Currently Green Rose only offers one color of clothes made from this fabric – natural white. This choice is particularly suitable for people with sensitive skin. We also always recommend choosing natural colors for premature babies and newborns.



So, if you're looking for the perfect summer fabric, look no further than merino wool with silk. With its breathability, moisture-wicking properties, odor resistance, UV protection, and softness, it's the ultimate choice for any summer adventure. Merino wool with silk will keep you cool, comfortable, and stylish all summer long.
