Why wool?

Where do we start?

There are almost endless reasons to choose wool. Wool regulates temperature, manages moisture, and keeps you warm even when wet. Naturally. That's why people have turned to wool for thousands of years, whenever they needed clothing that could handle hard wear and unforgiving weather.

Wool is not only for winter. In summer, merino wool keeps you cool, resists odour, protects against UV rays and friendly to the environment.

Sheep to Shop

Since 2018, we have purchased wool directly from wool growers through our sourcing model ‘Sheep to Shop’.
