Merino wool offers numerous advantages: It provides good insulation, transports moisture and has anti-static properties; it doesn't itch, smell or crease much; it is lightweight and keeps its shape. And it does all this in a completely natural and sustainable way. The many natural benefits of merino wool – its moisture-wicking, insulating, temperature-regulating, odour-resistant, breathable and elastic qualities – provide exceptional comfort and protection in the outdoors. We're also of the opinion that it looks great, too. This means it's perfect for everyday casual wear, too. Superwash Merino wool is a type of wool that has been treated to make it machine washable and less prone to shrinking. This is achieved through a process called "superwashing," which involves treating the wool fibers to make them more resistant to shrinking and felting. Superwash Merino wool is popular for use in clothing, blankets, and other household items because it is soft, warm, and easy to care for.
