About Merino Wool

One of nature's most versatile fibres, merino is a natural insulator and temperature regulator, keeping you warm in the cold and cool in the heat. With ultra fine fibres, it's incredibly soft not at all scratchy like traditional wool can be.

For more than a century, Swanndri has created clothing designed to perform in New Zealand's diverse conditions.

Merino wool is naturally temperature regulating, breathable and soft against the skin. Its odour-resistant fibres often require less frequent washing than synthetic alternatives.

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.

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.

Merino is a type of wool—it comes from merino sheep, and its fibres are far finer than standard wool, which is why it feels soft rather than scratchy next to the skin. Where we've listed a product simply as wool, it's a coarser, hardier fibre. That isn't a lesser thing. It's exactly what you want in an underlay, a blanket or a dog coat, where loft, warmth and durability matter more than next-to-skin softness.

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.

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.

We don't offer gift wrapping at the moment, but we're happy to include a message from you. Add it in the notes when you order, along with who it's from, and we'll pass it on with the parcel.
