What Is Merino Wool?
Merino fine wool is soft like cashmere and silk, but it also boasts
many amazing performance qualities, like cooling and moisture-wicking
abilities. Merino wool is a type of wool gathered from the coats
of Merino sheep. The natural fiber is prized for its soft quality, and
the wool is extremely fine. While traditional wool is notorious for
being itchy, merino wool is one of the softest forms of wool and
doesn’t aggravate the skin. This is because of the small diameter of
the fine merino fibers, which makes it more flexible and pliable and
therefore less itchy. Merino wool is considered a luxurious
fiber, frequently for sweaters, socks, and outdoor clothing. It is
prized for its odor-resistant, moisture-wicking, and breathable nature.
What Are the Characteristics of Merino Wool?
Merino wool is an extremely prized and luxurious fabric, as there are many benefits of merino wool.
• Warm: Wool is a great insulator, as the fiber’s
natural crimp, the waviness of the wool fiber, traps pockets of air,
which provides excellent thermal qualities against cold temperatures.
• Water retention: Merino wool is absorbent and can
absorb up to 30 percent of its weight in water before it feels wet.
• Durable: As a natural fiber, merino wool is
inherently very strong, as the individual fibers interlock as a result
of the protein structure. The fiber’s natural crimp also adds
elasticity and strength.
• Breathable: Merino wool has great breathability
because the wool is able to absorb and evaporate moisture. Because of
its breathable nature, merino is a great fiber for regulating body
temperature making it a perfect base layer for outdoor activities.
• Cooling: Merino wool stores moisture in its fibers.
As that moisture evaporates, it creates a natural cooling mechanism and
helps regulate body heat.
• Moisture-wicking: Like some synthetic fibers,
merino wool also has the ability to wick moisture away from the skin.
This is because of the wool’s amazing absorption and breathable
qualities.
• Soft: Since merino wool fibers are finer than any other sheep fibers, they are extremely soft to the touch.
• Odor-resistant: Merino wool has antimicrobial
properties, as the natural lanolin in the sheep’s wool repels
odor-causing bacteria. Since merino wool manages moisture so well,
there is no wet environment for that bacteria to grow.
