How does the merino wool get that, do you ask yourself?
Why doesn't Merino wool scratch?
The strength of the fibers determines how smooth a wool is. The fibers of the merino wool are weak and flexible. That means the hair bend when you touch our skin and give us the typical soft feeling of the merino wool.
Most of the time we think of the scratchy feeling of sensitive skin areas when we want to see. But not with merino wool!
Wool in summer?
As a good thermal insulator, the merino wool protects from the inside from the cold as well as from outside at heated temperatures. This allows you to wear merino wool in summer as well as in winter. Feel -good factor guaranteed!
Why can the wool be worn in summer? In relation to their total volume, wool goods consist of up to 85 % of air. Due to the curled structure, the fibers lie loosely on top of each other. Our body heat is stored in the air spaces that result. This creates isolation to the outside and brings a pleasant climate inwards. So the wool feels nice and cool in summer. An additional plus is that natural sun protection factor from up to 50.
How the merino wool protects against moisture
The merino wool deals with moisture like an artist. Inside it stores the water vapor on the surface If she drops wetness. In the meantime, the moisture lies in the air chambers between the fibers. It can absorb up to a third of her own dry weight. Meanwhile, the fabric feels for them anyway dry to.
Thanks to this moisture regulation, the material in the warm air quickly dries again. At the same time, it cools the skin through evaporation. That is why clothing from merino wool is pleasant to wear all year round.
Sweat smell Adé
Even with a long time, you and your fellow students will not notice any unpleasant body smells. This is ideal if you are traveling longer or have to adapt different temperatures. In the case of clothing from synthetic fibers, the sweat smell settles in the gaps.
Why don't Merino wool stink? This is due to the scaly surface of the merino fibers. Bacteria cannot hold on to this. In addition, the merino wool is unusual quickly cleans yourself. We couldn't imagine it more optimally.

Buy wool from happy sheep
In ethical terms, you should be aware of what the extraction of the merino wool can look like. Therefore, remain attentive to the search for qualitative merino wool.
Keep out for the term «mulesing -free». Merinoshafe are good wool producers due to their strong skin folding. But exactly in these folds of the skin, their eggs like to fly. To prevent dangerous parasites, a brutal practice was created. Young animals are cut out in the anus area in a cruel way plate -sized skin flaps. This procedure is called mulesing.
Because this causes severe pain to the sheep (also in the long term), we reject this method. Our merino products come exclusively from sheep that did not use mulesing. A high -quality merino wool is also ensured with a species -appropriate attitude. That costs a little more, but we owe both the sheep and your conscience.
