Nature's own high tec

Sheep have taken care of wool's product development for us, having lived for millennia in very diverse environments and weather conditions. Humans can also benefit from wool’s ability to keep warm in the cold and feel cool in the heat, thanks to its curly structure.

Especially in winter, it’s a good idea to wear warm and breathable merino wool as a thermal underwear against the skin. Wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture, such as sweat or rain, without feeling wet. Its surface is naturally antibacterial, dirt-repellent, and neutralises odours like sweat. Refreshing wool garments usually only requires airing, and washing is seldom needed. Compared to synthetic fibers, wool is also a very fire-resistant material – all essential qualities when choosing clothing for an active lifestyle.

Smooth and comfy merino wool

Merino wool's coarseness is indicated by its micron measurement, where a finer fibre causes less irritation to the skin. The fibre diameter of the merino wool we use is 18.5 microns, classified as extra fine, whereas e.g. Finnsheep wool ranges from approximately 24 to 31 microns in thickness.

The type of knit also affects how a garment feels on the skin. We manufacture most of our woollen underwear and accessories from 210 g/m² thick interlock knit, which is exceptionally smooth on both sides. The knit is opaque, making the garments suitable not only as underwear but also for wearing on their own at home and at work.

What is organic merino wool?

In organic production, the principle is to produce goods using methods that are not harmful to humans, animals, or the environment. The same strict criteria also govern the processing of organic raw materials.

The dyeing of organic wool is carried out in a closed system using reactive dyes, which burden the environment as little as possible. In this process, the fibre reacts completely with the dye, leaving no residues. Chrome dyes or heavy metal salts are not used in organic production. Additionally, we refrain from applying mothproofing treatments that are harmful to both people and the environment.

Manufacturing in Finland

The organic merino wool we use arrives in Finland as yarn from our suppliers in Germany and Italy, and is knitted for us by our long-term partners in Orivesi and Kangasala. After the knit arrives at our sewing factory in Artjärvi, our skilled professionals turn it into high-quality clothing and accessories.

For us, every patch is important, and we make careful use of precious material. Small pieces can be used, for example, to make baby mittens or patch material for mending clothes. All white scraps are shredded and carded into wadding for our wool-filled bedding, all made in Finland. The coloured patches are further processed for industrial applications, such as absorbents or carpet underlays.

Wash and care of woollen garments

Proper washing and storage are essential for the long life of a garment. Our instructions will help you to wash and care our wool products correctly for maximum life span. Remember to protect your woollen garments from textile pests.

Our products are not treated with finishing agents, so no washing is required before first use.
