KNITWEAR SELECTION GUIDE

A merino wool knit is a timeless quality garment.

North Outdoor's knitwear collection offers a wide range of designs, varying in materials, knitting techniques, thickness, and fit. Our knitwear selection guide helps you easily find the perfect piece. What unites all our knitwear is the exceptional qualities of merino wool: breathable, lightweight, and warm.

Caring for your merino wool knit is simple—regular airing is usually enough. Thanks to its antibacterial properties, merino wool naturally resists odors. All of our knitwear is made from 100% merino wool, ensuring comfort and durability.

Knit thickness

When choosing knitwear, it’s important to consider both the thickness of the fabric and its intended use. Every knit and knitted fabric is unique, and each person may experience the warmth of the knit differently. This perception is influenced by the density, airiness, and fit of the garment. To make your decision easier, we’ve categorized our knitwear into three thickness levels: lightweight, midweight, and heavyweight.

Keep in mind that even thicker knits can feel pleasantly cool indoors if they have a looser fit and an open-knit texture. Conversely, a thinner knit can feel quite warm if it has a snug fit and a denser fabric structure.

Fits sand Styles

Our knitwear is available in a variety of fits. When it comes to natural fiber knitwear, sizing can vary slightly between products, which is completely normal. This variation is influenced by minor differences in the strength of different colors. While you may not notice much difference in the thickness of the knit, these subtle variations can affect the knitting process, making each piece unique. For more details, see our guide to choosing the right size.
