Wrinkle resistance- Merino wool has a coiled spring structure that helps it to regain its shape.

Fire-resistance- The inherent chemical structure of the wool fibre makes wool naturally flame resistant.

UV resistance- As a natural fibre, evolved over millions of years to protect sheep against the elements, Merino wool absorbs UV radiation providing protection from the sun.

The fibre is trusted by designers and consumers across the world, with the knowledge that the health of the environment is in front of mind for the woolgrowers who produce it.
