Arguably Nature's most extraordinary gift to us, merino wool is the perfectly engineered material.
'Warms above its weight’
Because merino fibres are much finer than other wools it always feels
wonderfully snug, yet feather-light and itch-free on your skin.
Stays cool in 40+C summers, warm in sub-zero winters.
Each fibre of merino wool has a cunning crimp, creating a unique ability to 'breathe'.
This also ‘wicks’ moisture away from the body to the outer layer, where
it can evaporate, making it anti-microbial, odour resistant and wrinkle-free.
A natural elasticity that won’t sag or stretch.
It will absorb up to 30% of its own weight in water, without feeling wet and is
anti-static, stain-resistant, flame-proof, bio-degradable and hard-wearing.
All of which makes Namaqua merino wool the ultimate performance fabric.
Sustainable and sensitive.
Our sheep range free, only being shorn once, or at most, twice a year.
We shear by hand so as to cause minimal stress to our animals.
And of course, once a sheep has given you your jumper, it simply grows another.
