Product description
Light and warm silk wool shorts
Knee-length silk wool shorts can be worn under trousers or a skirt for extra warmth on chilly days. They are also comfortable as an addition to a body suit in hard frosty weather.
Unisex model that suits both men and women. Adjustable waistband runs in casing, so it doesn't come up against your skin.
Made from 30% natural silk and 70% organic merino wool, the silk wool combines the best of both materials: the smoothness of silk and the warmth of wool. The light material is flexible and breathable, and provides the extra warmth needed when combined with other garments.
Handmade in Artjärvi. No need to wash before use.
Women: due to unisex sizing, we recommend choosing one size smaller than your normal size.

Size guide
Knitted fabrics made from natural fibres are flexible and due to the properties of the material, product sizes may vary slightly. For this reason, we do not provide measurements of finished products, but size selection is based on your own body measurements.
Dimensions in the table are given in centimetres (cm).

This is how you measure:
- Measure over bare skin or thin underwear.
- The easiest way to measure is with a tape measure. Make sure the tape measure is straight. It is easier to measure if you have another person with you or if you measure in front of a mirror.
- If your measurements fall between the two measurements on the measurement chart, we recommend taking a smaller size as the products are strethcy.
- Remember to check the measurements on the correct size chart, especially for unisex products.
Tips for choosing your size:
- The measurements on the size chart are body measurements, which you can compare to find the right size.
- Our products are made to Finnish measurements, which means that they are generally a little looser than e.g. European sizes. If you are deciding between two sizes, a smaller size is probably sufficient if you prefer a more fitted look.
- For unisex products, we recommend that women choose one size smaller than their normal size. Also check the measurements on the size chart!
- Silk wool is more elastic than wool or silk, so keep this in mind, especially when selecting adult silk wool garments.
-
The knit of our wool products will slightly shrink when first washed. This is taken into account in the sizing, which is slightly loose before the first wash.

As we open the door and step inside the lower floor of the Old Dairy, the room is filled with a soft steady whir, paced by a faster buzz, click and then another buzz. Some twenty seamstresses are working. This is where the heart of Ruskovilla is.
