Our silk comes in two constructions single knit and double knit. While both are lightweight, breathable and temperature regulating, the knit changes how the fabric moves and which garments it's best suited to.

Single knit silk is the lighter of the two. Made with a single set of needles, it's incredibly fine, a little sheer, and fits closely to the body moving with you, almost unnoticed. At 75gsm, it's a natural base layer, sitting easily under clothing.

Double knit, also known as interlock silk, is made with two sets of needles that create two interlocking layers. It's slightly thicker than single knit, won't ladder, and while it has some stretch, the fabric is more structured, so it holds its shape. It comes in two weights: a lighter 95gsm for underwear and sleepwear, and a heavier 170gsm, which is better suited to outerwear.

It comes down to what you want the layer to do.

Silk is the lightest option and close to invisible under clothing. It adds genuine thermal warmth without any bulk, which makes it ideal under work clothes, under a shirt, or for travel. Choose silk when you want warmth nobody can see.

Merino is the warmest and most hard-wearing. Our superfine and ultrafine Merino sits between 16.9 and 18 microns, so it feels soft rather than scratchy, and it's naturally odour-resistant and machine washable. It's the right choice for hiking, genuinely cold days, and everyday wear.

Bamboo is soft, stretchy and breathable, and it's our most affordable range. It's better suited to everyday comfort and sleepwear than to serious warmth.

Still unsure? Email sales@nznature.co.nz and tell us what you'll be wearing it for.

Many are, and the product page tells you which. Anything made here carries an 'NZ Made' tag — that includes our Merino from Weft and Essence Lingerie, our sheepskin slippers and boots from EB Tolley and Furmoo, and skincare from Nude Kiwi.

Some of our range is made offshore, and we're upfront about that. Silk and bamboo, for example, aren't fibres produced in New Zealand, so those garments are made overseas to our specification. We're a New Zealand company and we make here wherever we sensibly can.

If you want to know the origin of a specific item, look for the NZ Made tag on the product page, or ask us and we'll tell you.

Yes. Every product page includes a size guide with detailed measurements for that specific garment, along with a how-to-measure section so you can compare against a piece you already own. Sizing can vary slightly between styles, so we recommend checking the guide for the item you're looking at rather than assuming your usual size. If you're between sizes or unsure about fit, email sales@nznature.co.nz and our team will help you find the right one.
