Merino wool is not only excellent at insulating warmth, but it also wicks moisture away from the body due to the structure of its fibers and retains heat even when damp. Wool can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in water before it feels wet. The yarn is superwash treated, allowing it to withstand frequent machine washing. Our suppliers guarantee that our wool does not come from sheep that have been subjected to mulesing.
