What makes merino wool so special?

There is a difference between sweaters and knits on the market. The most ecological, high-quality and durable knitwear is made from natural fibres such as merino wool. Thanks to the material we use, all our knitwear is perfectly comfortable to wear and stands the test of time. Merino sheep live in exceptional weather conditions, which makes their wool different from that of other sheep. Over the ages, merino wool has evolved to cope with both heat and cold. A knitwear made from merino wool works in the same way as wool in sheep - it naturally regulates body temperature. That's why a merino wool knit is particularly warm in winter, but cools in summer. In the North Outdoor knitwear range, you'll find thick sweaters for winter and thinner knits for summer.

The merino wool sweater is perfectly lightweight

One of the superior properties of merino wool is its lightness, which makes it merino wool knit always feels as light and breathable to wear. This superior lightness also makes merino wool the perfect travel companion. Thanks to the material, it packs down into a small space and is easy to carry around. As a natural material, the knit is also naturally antibacterial and freshens up with ventilation.

Most popular knitwear for women

North Outdoor's best-selling knit is the polo neck knit Halla. Halla-There is a version for men and women. Also available at Kuohu- has found its way into the hearts of our customers. Our latest knitwear Kide has quickly gained popularity and is one of the lightest knits in the North Outdoor range.

How to care for your merino sweater

The most important care for your merino wool sweater is ventilation. Merino wool is a naturally antibacterial material that cleans itself in fresh air. Ventilation even removes the smell of sweat and smoke. The material also repels dirt naturally. We recommend washing merino wool as rarely as possible and only when the sweater looks like it needs washing. You can hand wash the knitwear with wool detergent or machine wash on a delicate cycle at 30 degrees. After rinsing, squeeze most of the water out of the sweater, for example with a towel, and shape the sweater to your desired shape. Always give your knitwear a gentle drying.

Slight linting is characteristic of new merino wool knitwear and is caused by loose wool fibres. You can prevent this by removing loose fibres from the surface of the knitwear a clothes brush with a brush. You can also use the following to help remove the lint a doll cutter. The sagging will even out over time. You can read more about how to care for merino wool garments here.
