What Is Merino Wool and Why Is It Great for Sweaters?

Merino wool is one of the best fibres for everyday knitwear. Here's what makes it special.

Exceptionally fine and soft

Merino fibres are far finer than regular wool, so they feel soft rather than scratchy against the skin.

Temperature regulating

Merino breathes and wicks moisture, keeping you warm in the cold and comfortable indoors — ideal for layering.

Naturally low-odour

The fibre resists odour, so merino knits stay fresh longer between washes.

Easy to live with

It drapes well, resists wrinkles and holds its shape with simple care.
