Merino in a sock

The Woolmark Company states that merino wool is generally less than 22 micron, and the finer the micron, the softer the fibre. Wool requires less washing because it is naturally stain resistant, odour resistant and crease resistant, according to The Woolmark Company. Merino offers softness, warmth without weight, breathability and versatility.

The fibres on this page

Pure merino, pure cashmere and a merino and mohair blend are the full fibre list for this page. Cashmere gives the softest finish underfoot and costs the most. Merino handles the everyday end, fine enough to sit against skin all day. Adding mohair puts a harder wearing surface and a slight lustre into the knit. Nothing else appears on the page, so that list is complete.
