What is merino wool, really?

When people talk about exceptionally fine wool, merino almost always comes up. Merino wool comes from the merino sheep and is known for being soft, temperature regulating, and comfortable directly against the skin. Our own materials, Ullfrotté Original and Woolpower LITE, contain a high percentage of merino wool, making our garments both warm and comfortable to wear.

That’s why merino wool is used in everything from base layers and socks to clothing for work, hiking, and outdoor life.

Why so many people love merino wool

Practical when you’ve been sweating or when the weather changes quickly.

So even if you originally came here just to solve a crossword puzzle, we hope you found something useful anyway.
