Merino wool garments can be machine washed at a lukewarm temperature.

Merino wool is considered hypoallergenic because it does not contain chemicals or synthetic fibers that could irritate the skin.

It is naturally bacteria and odor resistant, which can help prevent skin irritation associated with allergies and skin reactions.

All of these characteristics make merino wool an ideal choice for people with sensitive skin or allergy sufferers.

Unlike synthetic fibers, merino wool is environmentally friendly because it is biodegradable and renewable.

Merino sheep are also raised humanely and sustainably, reducing their environmental impact.

Merino wool is often considered to be more expensive than other types of wool due to several factors. First of all, merino breed sheep do not produce as much wool as other breeds of sheep, which makes wool rarer and therefore more expensive.

Additionally, producing premium merino wool requires careful sheep raising, delicate wool shearing and careful fiber selection.
