Easy Care Guide
Merino wool’s natural antibacterial properties mean your knit won’t need to be washed often. It will resist stains, wrinkles and odours. From time to time it may need to take a breather outside for an hour or so. When the time comes to wash it, a cold hand wash or a gentle low-spin washing machine cycle will do. Do not tumble dry. Learn more on how to care for your knit here.
Your first full-price order, is packaged in our 100% recycled cotton protective storage bag. Additionally, we include a 3D printed, zero waste comb to gently remove any superficial pilling.

Moisture Management
Merino’s moisture-wicking superpowers soak up 30% of its weight in moisture and still feel dry. Keeping you fresh all day long.
Odour Resistant
Naturally anti-bacterial, our Merino fibers prevent odour build-up by locking in moisture and repelling bacteria. Stay odour-free, even after multiple wears, without needing constant washing—a must for sustainable and low-impact living.
Temperature Regulating
Your personal climate control system, powered by nature. Our Merino wool works like magic—the wool's natural crimp structure creates insulating air pockets, making it an expert in temperature regulation, no matter the season. Think of it as nature’s A/C, no thermostat required.
Ultra Fine Merino
Crafted from hand-selected, ZQ-certified Merino wool, our fibers are a luxurious 19.5 microns thick—unfathomably soft yet resilient enough for generational wear. Spun in Italy and reinforced with our Eternity X-Care® treatment.
