WHAT TIME OF THE YEAR CAN I WEAR MERINO?

All year round. Merino is an all year round fiber and that’s why we love it so much. With merino's natural ability to regulate body temperature it will keep you comfortable no matter the season. As it's breathable it will keep you feeling and smelling fresh no matter how many times you wear, just give it a chance to breath every now and then and you will be fresh as a daisy. Merino also offers great UV protection meaning you can spend longer in the sun doing the things you love. For more information head over to our Why Merino? Page

IS MERINO HEAVY AND ITCHY?

No, absolutely not. If you haven't tried merino before, you are in for a treat. One of the reasons we love this natural product so much is because it's soft, comfortable and ultra-lightweight. Merino fibres are much finer than standard wool fibres which is why it's perfect for wearing at any time.

HOW COME YOUR GARMENTS ARE NOT PURE WHITE?

It is not possible to die the wool white this is why you will find all merino products that say they are white are actually an off-white colour.
