Extra fine merino wool yarn 19.5µm

Compared to other types of wool, merino wool is always fine and soft, generally less than 24 micron (μm) in diameter. Yet, it is graded by its fineness to produce yarn. The finer the wool used to produce the yarn is, the softer it will be on the skin. Extra fine merino wool can be worn directly on the skin even on the most sensible parts. It is very pleasant.

Knit type Rib

Rib knit can be identify because of its vertical ribs. Rib knit fabric is heavier compared to Jersey and generally very stretchy. It is used to make high quality garments that are stretchy without the use of elasthane. It is ideal for making base layers.

Midweight merino wool knit 220gsm

This is an indicator of the merino wool fabric thickness. GSM stands for grams per square meter. Midweight is the most versatile thickness. It is warm in cold weather as an underlayer and extremely pleasent in warm weather as a single layer.

Mulesing-free

Mulesing is a practice in which skin is removed from the rear of the Merino sheep in order to prevent parasitic infections from flies. It is efficient but controversial because of its cruelty. Alternatives exist through selection of resistant animals with lower skin wrinkling and through the use of non-surgical alternatives. Mulesing-free guarantees that wool is sourced from non-mulesed merino sheep.

Oeko-Tex Standard 100

Standard 100 certification guarantees that the certified item has been tested against harmful substances and that it is therefore harmless for human health. Tests are conducted by independent institutes based on criteria of Standard 100. Absence of numerous regulated and non-regulated substances, which may be harmful to human health are verified. Limit values for the STANDARD 100 often go beyond national and international requirements.
