With more and more wear-and-tear clothes on the go for your exploration, it is always recommended to go green whenever you get the chance. Merino wool is a great way to keep it sustainable as well as to keep your clothes run longer.
Merino wool has been one of the most used fabrics of all times in the recent years. Perfect for use in clothes which go through everyday wear and tear as well as for heart regulation, Merino wool also holds moisture-wicking properties that many synthetic fibres are usually unable to offer.
Keeping your Merino wool products will be easier if you understand what it is made of and the ways to preserve it for a longer period of time.
What is Merino Wool?
Crafted from the breed of Spanish mountain sheep, Merino wool is thermo-regulating and naturally bio-degradable. They are also UV-resistant and are protective against the UV rays. Apart from that, they are also odour-resistant and soft when worn. The production has been around since the 12th century but it was popularized during the late 90s by Icebreaker® Merino. Merino wool is now preferred amongst all kinds of colder months around the world.
Wash and Dry Care for Merino Wool
Merino wool is machine washable but it is recommended to not use hot water as it may shrink the garment. It is also recommended to use mild detergents and to avoid the softeners as it might destroy the natural fibres.
It is not recommended to put merino wool fabrics in the dryer. Whether it is your favourite hat, base layer, gloves, etc. It is always best to keep them in line and dry so that the clothes stay preserved for a longer period of time.
How to Store Merino Wool?
If you have a lot of Merino wool based clothing items and have been wearing it since a long time, you would know how important it is to clean before storing the pieces. It will prevent the clothes to stain or pick up dirt. It is also important to know that each item folded rather than being hung will keep all the clothes reduce the loss of shape.
If you want to pack your garments for a long period of time, it is safer to keep them sealed so that there are no dust particles or insects that can decrease the longevity of the clothes.
