Merino wool
Merino wool is a particularly fine and high-quality type of new wool. It is obtained from so-called merino sheep. Merino sheep have particularly fine wool. Merino wool has a special structure and is therefore very soft. The natural fibre has functional properties due to its structure: it is very soft, strongly crimped, elastic and scaled. Merino wool therefore has numerous advantages: it does not scratch, as the fibres are only half as thick as those of normal new wool. It keeps you warm for a long time. At the same time, merino insulates against heat because it binds moisture and thus regulates body temperature. It can absorb up to a third of its dry weight in water without feeling uncomfortably clammy. This is why the wool provides long-lasting warmth even in rain and snow. Like normal new wool, merino wool is odour-neutralising. That's why you rarely have to wash it. It is usually enough to air merino clothing outdoors. Merino offers natural UV protection. Electrostatic charge does not occur with merino clothing.
