How to wash and care for merino
• Merino doesn’t need to be washed after every wear, as the wool is naturally antibacterial and odour-resistant. Hang garments to air between wears instead.
• To wash merino wool, machine wash at 30ºC with a low spin.
• Using a wool detergent will help merino last longer. Avoid using fabric softener, which coats the fibres and make them less breathable.
• Hang merino wool to air dry and reshape while damp. The heat from tumble driers can cause fibres to shrink.
• Pilling will occur naturally with wear. This can be easily remedied with use of a pilling comb or a fabric shaver.
• Don’t forget to protect your merino from moths!
The benefits of linen:
AIRY LIGHTWEIGHT BREEZY BREATHABLE TEXTURED
Linen is a natural fabric, spun from the fibres of the flax plant. These long fibres make it resilient, able hold its shape for longer and non-pilling. The strands are thicker than cotton, giving linen its distinctive texture. Characterised by an airy feel and light, breathable weave, linen is quick to dry and comfortable to wear, making it ideal for travel or the summer months.
