Merino wool yarn with many properties and follow our care tips

Did you know that merino wool has a natural ability to withstand odor? Many are surprised, but it is true enough that the yarn has some natural properties that make it easier to keep clean and fresh. 

Self -cleaning properties

Merino wool has a natural ability to withstand odor. Wool fibers absorb and release moisture, which helps keep the wool free of sweat odor. This is because the structure of the wool and the natural oils of the fibers help prevent bacteria causing odor from developing. As a result of this, merino wool can often stay odorless and neat for a long time if you compare it to others Yarn materials.

Reduced need of washing

Because the yarn can withstand odor and absorb moisture, it does not have to be washed as often as some other materials. Many times you can simply vent or hang your Merino woolen clothing on the drying cord or a hanger to freshen it up between the sinks. This helps maintain the quality of the wool and extend the life of the clothing.

Follow the washing recommendation on your merino wool yarn

Although merino wool can withstand a lot of odor, it is still a good idea to familiarize yourself with the specific washing instructions to preserve the properties of the wool. Almost everyone tries at some point to destroy a knit sweater by washing it at too high temperatures. It is a pity to stand with a delicious and soft merino knit in your hand, which is now scratching. The best thing you can do is wash it gently in the sink in lukewarm soapy water or apply a wool program at 30 ° C in your washing machine. Just the dryer is an absolute no-go as the material shrinks. You should avoid washing too often as it wears on the fibers.
