More Merino Myths Busted: We're Setting the Record Straight

Hey there, fellow fabric fans! Remember last week when we busted some of those common merino wool myths and talked about how it's the versatile, comfy companion your wardrobe has been missing? Well, buckle up, because we're about to go full-on sheepdog and round up even more misconceptions.

In case you missed last weeks post, you can find it here.

Myth #4: Merino Wool Is Expensive

Okay, we get it – the thought of super-soft, odour-resistant, temperature-taming fabric might make you think your wallet's about to get fleeced. But here's the thing: merino wool, while a bit pricier than basic cotton, is an investment. Think about it – a merino T-shirt you can wear for days without a wash cycle is basically saving you money in the long run! Plus, it's durable, so it'll last longer than those fast-fashion finds.

^{P.S. With Easter just around the corner, look out for some exciting deals coming up!}

Myth #5: Merino Wool is Only for Outdoor Activities

Sure, outdoor enthusiasts love merino for hiking and camping. But guess what? You don't need to be scaling mountains to benefit from this amazing material! Merino wool is fantastic for everyday wear. Its comfy-cosy vibes make it perfect for lounging, and its snazzy moisture-wicking means those stressful office days are no match. It's like the superhero of fabrics, just as comfortable saving the day at work as it is on a weekend adventure. We have a collection of clothing dedicated to this. The Loungewear Collection.

Myth #6: All Merino Wool Is Created Equal

Just like there are different breeds of sheep, there are different grades of merino wool. The quality is measured in microns (the diameter of the fiber). The lower the micron count, the softer the wool. So, if you're looking for the ultimate buttery-softness, aim for pieces with a micron count under 18.5. Trust us, it'll feel like you're wearing a cloud.

Why Else Should You Be Team Merino?

Wrinkle-resistant: Roll it up in your suitcase, and it bounces right back. Merino is the perfect no-fuss travel buddy.

Biodegradable: Unlike synthetic fabrics, merino wool is a natural, renewable resource, making it a more eco-conscious choice.

Naturally flame resistant: Talk about a hot commodity! Merino's safety factor is a bonus.
