Wash and care instructions
- No washing is required before first use
- Wool softens in the first wash, which increases comfort of use especially on a sensitive skin
- Wool neutralises odours, and often just airing is enough to clean
- After regular use, the garment should be washed, as washing helps the wool fibres to recover and retain their elasticity
- Our wool products are not treated with a moth repellent, so remember to protect the wool product from moths and beetles. When not in constant use, store wool products in a sealed plastic bag, e.g. in the product's original package
- Wash by hand or by using the 30 Celsius degree hand or wool wash program using a biodegradable wool washing detergent
- We recommend the Sonett wool and silk washing liquid for washing and Sonett gall soap for stain removal
- Smooth the garment back to shape immediately after washing
- Wool shrinks slightly in the first wash, which has been taken into account in the sizing of the products
Materials
- Our certified and mulesing-free organic merino wool comes from Argentina and Uruguay
- Certification ensures good treatment of animals, including nutrition, shelter and health care
- Sheep graze freely, except for annual shearing, and professional shepherds are trained and supervised by local authorities
- We use extra fine quality, 18.5 micron merino wool, which is non-itchy and comfortable on skin
- The wool's excellent thermal insulation properties are due to its curly structure
- Wool balances body temperature, absorbs moisture and warms even when damp
- Wool is a fire-safe material

The sheep, who have for millennia lived in vastly different living and weather conditions, have taken care of product development process for us. Us humans can also benefit from the fact that wool keeps you warm in the cool climate and feels cool during warm weather. All this is thanks to the curly texture of the fiber.
Especially in winter, it is advisable to wear warm and breathable merino wool as a base layer next to the skin. Wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture, such as sweat or rain, without feeling wet. The surface of wool is naturally antibacterial, dirt-repellent, and neutralizes odors like sweat. Refreshing it only requires airing out, and it doesn't require frequent washing. Compared to synthetic fibers, wool is also a very fire-safe material – all important qualities when choosing clothes for an active lifestyle.
