Merino
- Merino doesn’t need to be washed after every wear, as the wool is naturally antibacterial and odour-resistant. Hang garments to air between wears instead.
- To wash merino wool, machine wash at 30ºC with a low spin.
- Using a wool detergent will help merino last longer. Avoid using fabric softener, which coats the fibres and make them less breathable.
- Hang merino wool to air dry and reshape while damp. The heat from tumble driers can cause fibres to shrink.
- Pilling will occur naturally with wear. This can be easily remedied with use of a pilling comb or a fabric shaver.
- Don’t forget to protect your merino from moths!
