Cool water and a gentle wool wash will help maintain the softness and performance of the fibre. Always refer to the care label attached to your garment.

    The best of both

    A blend works when each fibre covers what the other can't. Merino regulates temperature and stays fresh between washes, but on its own it can be more than you need on a mild night, and it asks for more care in the wash. Cotton is soft and easy to live with, but it holds onto moisture and does little for you once the temperature shifts.

    Together they settle somewhere more useful than either. The merino keeps the fabric working as conditions change and keeps it fresher for longer. The cotton lightens the handle, adds stability, and makes the garment straightforward to look after. Most of our merino cotton is an even 50/50 blend, so both fibres are doing real work rather than one making up the numbers.

    Which is why it suits the things worn closest to you. Sleepwear that holds a steady temperature through the night, rather than leaving you too warm at midnight and cold by morning. Everyday layers that sit comfortably under everything else without adding bulk.

    Soft from the first wear, easy in the wash, and quietly good at almost everything.

    What is organic cotton, and does it matter?

    Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, from seed that hasn't been genetically modified. To wear, it feels much the same as conventional cotton—the difference sits with the soil, the water and the people growing it. Several of our cotton products are certified organic, and the product page will tell you which.

    Is Merino itchy?

    Not ours. The prickle people associate with wool comes from coarse fibres — the thicker the fibre, the more it irritates the skin. Our superfine Merino is 18 microns and our ultrafine is 16.9 microns, both comfortably below the threshold at which most people feel any prickle at all. The result is a fabric that feels soft next to the skin, which is why our Merino base layers suit people with sensitive skin. If wool has bothered you in the past, it was almost certainly a far coarser fibre than this.

    What makes merino wool so soft?

    The softness of merino wool comes down to the fineness of its fibres. That fineness is measured in microns one thousandth of a millimetre. The lower the micron count, the finer and softer the fibre. Standard wool typically measures between 30 and 40 microns. By contrast, merino measures between 15 and 24 microns.

    Coarser fibres are rigid enough to prick the skin rather than bend against it, causing an itchy sensation. Finer fibres, like merino, are soft enough to flex on contact, so they sit gently against the skin without irritation.

    Within merino, there's even more variation. Our superfine merino sits between 17 and 18.5 microns. It's exceptionally soft and well suited to everyday wear. Our ultrafine merino measures below 17 microns. It's rarer, more expensive and closer in feel to cashmere.
