Product Description

How to determine the authenticity of merino wool:

• Pure merino wool features a fine surface, long wool fibers, and a soft hand feel with warmth. The product should have regular fiber composition, standard export models, and washing labels.
• Fake merino or merino wool blend will have a soft surface with short chemical fibers that feel cold and rough. It is prone to pilling and may have misleading labels.
• When pure merino wool is burned, it produces a distinct smell, short flame, and white smoke with granular ashes.
• Fake merino or merino wool blend burns rapidly with black smoke and produces plastic-like ashes with a strong chemical smell.

What is Merino wool?

Merino wool is a natural fiber from Merino sheep that is thinner and softer than regular wool, making it comfortable to wear directly on the skin. The varying thickness of Merino fibers determines their quality level.

• Superfine Merino (15.5-17.9 microns)
• Fine Merino (18-21 microns)
• Medium Merino (21.2-26 microns)

A single Merino wool fiber is incredibly fine, at 1/3 the diameter of a human hair, making it soft and comfortable to wear. Merino sheep in Australia and New Zealand have developed the softest and finest fleece over centuries, capable of withstanding extreme temperatures.

In summary, merino wool combines style, comfort, and performance seamlessly, surpassing synthetic materials in all aspects with its unique properties and luxurious feel.
