The Science Behind the Softness

At Sheep Inc., we’re not in the business of knitwear as usual. Our singular aim is to craft little revolutions you can wear. To design wearable masterpieces. To ensure each, meticulously crafted thread is a respectful nod to tradition and a bold leap towards the innovative. To create clothing that flirts with the senses and invites you on a journey through effortless, everyday luxury.
Elevating Merino: Beyond Ordinary Wool
In a world filled with synthetic alternatives, Merino emerges as a beacon of natural luxury. At Sheep Inc., we delve deeper into this exceptional wool, sourcing not just Merino, but the apex fibres. Renewable, biodegradable, and utterly, sublimely soft, our selection offers an unparalleled experience that’s both gentle on the skin and kind to the planet.
Delving into the Details: Micron Mastery
In this case, size is everything. While a human hair averages at 75 microns, our Merino selection boasts an ultra-fine measurement of 19.5µ. This slender dimension is the secret behind its plush feel, offering a silken touch turns every touch into a tactile sonnet.
Crimp, Comfort, & Nature’s Craftsmanship
Merino’s unique crimp isn’t just a beautiful anomaly; it’s a testament to nature’s ingenuity. These delicate waves in each fibre grant elasticity, resilience, and engineer micro-air pockets for adept temperature regulation. It’s nature’s way of ensuring comfort across seasons.
Pioneering Perfection: A Symphony of Tradition & Tech
Nature’s brilliance with Merino is evident, but we believe in enhancing the extraordinary. Through avant-garde processing and Bluesign® approved yarn treatments, we amplify Merino’s innate softness and longevity. And by shunning harmful chemicals often used in wool processing, we champion a production that reveres the earth as much as wearer comfort.
Because Your Skin Deserves the Best
We’re increasingly discerning about what we consume, so shouldn’t we be just as selective about what we wear on our largest organ? Our Merino wool masterfully blends nature’s wisdom with modern innovation. Leveraging its natural moisture-wicking and odour-resistant attributes and enhancing them with state-of-the-art techniques, we offer your skin the sartorial equivalent of a gourmet meal.
