The Best way to care for NZ Merino

Merino is an easy fabric to look after and you will get a long life from your garment if it is cared for by following the care instructions.

  • Always use a mild wool approved washing liquid.
  • Using a Laundry wash bag can help extend the life time of our garment, you can purchase ours here.
  • Hand or gentle wool cycle machine wash using lukewarm (No more than 30 degrees) or cold water with equal temperature rinse. (lukewarm wash with lukewarm rinse or cold wash with cold rinse).
  • NEVER use a detergent or fabric softener containing any bleaching agents or enzymes on any wool garment, these will eat through the wool and cause holes. Fabric softeners coats the fibres reducing their ability to naturally manage moisture and regulate temperature control.
  • Do not use bleach as it destroys merino fibres.
  • Dry lying flat in a shaded area.
  • Wash with similar colours
  • Merino doesn’t need to be washed each time it’s worn unless it is soiled. With all its Natural antibacterial properties it can be laid out in a shaded area in a breeze to refresh and get rid of any smells it may have.
