A Merino knit is a choice for those who value quality

A 100% Merino knit is the choice of those who value quality. The best thing about Merino knits is their versatility. Because Merino wool regulates temperatures, Merino wool sweaters can be worn year-round. The material feels cool in warm weather and warm in cold weather. North Outdoor knits are elegantly simple, which is why they are equally suitable for everyday wear and outdoor activities.

Merino Knit - Proper Care

The most important care procedure for Merino knits is airing. Merino wool requires washing very infrequently because its antibacterial wool fibers naturally repel dirt. Small stains and discolorations should be washed by hand as soon as they occur. If the garment appears to need washing, you can wash the entire knit by hand with wool detergent. Gently squeeze out the excess water from the wet garment. You can also roll a thicker knit into a terry cloth towel. Always opt for flat drying. Be cautious not to stretch the Merino knit. Wool garments can be lightly steamed from the inside through a damp cloth when needed. A new knit may pill slightly, and using a lint comb can help with this. This characteristic evens out over time, and pilling won't occur as much as in the beginning.

North Outdoor's Merino knits are produced in Finland at North Outdoor's own knitting mill in Oulu. A versatile Merino knit is suitable for every season.
