A soft and ethical yarn in a wide range of colours
Available online and at La Maison Tricotée Gilford
This merino wool comes from sheep raised in Patagonia, where mulesing is not practiced. The wool can be traced directly back to the farm where it came from.
Merino wool has many excellent properties. It regulates temperature. In other words, wool keeps our body warm in cold weather and releases heat in hot weather, which allows our skin to stay cool. At the same time, wool, like silk, wicks moisture away from the skin and can absorb 30% of its weight without feeling wet.
The yarn is certified STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®.
