Mens Merino Wool clothing — Fratelli Knitwear (2024)

It sounds silly, we know. However, it’s really a simple fact of history: without wool, the world would look very different today. It clothed man before civilizations arose and has continued to provide for our needs throughout all that time.

The Shaping of Wool has Shaped History

We’ve been working with wool for more than 30 years, and that’s quite a tradition! However, it’s nothing compared to the long-standing history of this fabric. It has financed wars, created guilds and contributed to the growth of nations. Even the great poets have taken note of the role wool has played throughout time.

It kept our ancestors cool by day and warm by night. It became an art form for the peasant class and an economic staple for British merchants. It was all made possible because of the properties that make this type of fabric so unique.

It’s What Heroes are Made From

The Australian Navy didn’t choose wool for their uniforms because it was stylish, though it definitely is! There’s a long tradition of wool being used to clothe our biggest heroes. Astronauts, sailors, military personnel and even oil-rig workers have come to rely on this material. The way a wool fibre coils around itself creates an extremely durable cloth that is not easily torn but can easily help control body temperature. That’s why our men’s merino wool clothing is a perfect choice for anyone who needs to look their best.

Wool Helps with Moisture Control

The ability for wool to absorb moisture without feeling wet is one reason it is so consistently used in seafaring trades. However, there’s a little more to it than that. What happens when wet fabric isn’t dried quickly? It mildews, right?

Not with wool. Think about it; it’s not like sheep are known for their ability to grow a fine fungus. Wool has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties precisely because it comes from the fleece of various animals. That means your woollen clothing can absorb and release moisture which keeps it from beginning to mildew or hold odour.

This keeps your skin feeling dry and it’s the secret behind wool’s ability to work for both warm and cool weather. It also makes wool a natural choice for sportswear, summertime cardigans and in any environment with extreme temperatures. So, if you’re looking for a way to get around that blazing Australian sun, wool is a perfect choice.

Dress Like a Hero with Merino Wool Knitwear

Whether you’re sailing off to foreign lands or looking to impress with your style, wool is the way to go. Smart, fashionable and classic: those are the words we’d use to describe this versatile fabric. You’ll find many classic styles for men’s merino wool clothing in our online shop. Our cardigans and jumpers are perfect gifts, especially for anyone in your life who appreciates the classics as we do. Shop today and find something perfect for your grandfather or that special someone in your life.

That’s because our years of experience have taught us to respect the materials used to craft a finished garment. We know a thing or two about wool, and that’s why we can tell you that inferior knits and synthetic blends will never stack up to the real thing.

What Makes Wool Better than Synthetics?

Synthetic fibres seem great at first. They’re comfortable, they cost less and they’ve become a staple for many clothing manufacturers. However, natural will always be a cut above the synthetics. Why? Because man’s creation is at its best when working in tandem with mother nature.

You see, raw fleece wouldn’t make a very good jacket. Don’t tell our ancestors that, because that is exactly how they used it! Today, we continue to make use of the amazing natural properties offered by woollen garments, and there’s a reason it has remained a staple in the manufacture of clothing for nearly all of human history.

It’s All in the Fibres

Synthetic fibres are made to imitate the properties of natural fibres, but they can’t hold a candle to what nature has cooked up over thousands of years. Fleece, after all, is what protects an animal from the surrounding environment. That’s why woollen fibres are so extraordinary, and we don’t say that lightly.

Underneath a microscope, woollen fibres appear as a series of coils that loop around one another to form a strand. When properly woven, these fibres are able to expand and contract without stretching out of shape. This also allows for moisture-wicking properties that keep the wearer cool or warm, depending on the weather. Amazingly, these fibres also contain antimicrobials that break down sweat and odours. That’s why pure wool jumpers are able to stay fresh and new for much longer than synthetics.

Synthetic Blends are Not Your Friend

Many companies these days take shortcuts by creating clothing with a blend of synthetic fibres and natural wool. At first glance, it seems as though there’s little difference. However, a blend will never have the same durability or versatility as an all-natural wool garment. That’s because synthetics are an imitation of the original, and the original is always better!

Not only that, synthetic blends tend to lose shape more easily. They have lower melting points than wool, which means their fibres are more easily distorted in a hot wash. They’re also not as breathable as wool and are more prone to causing allergic reactions.

Let’s Get Real About Wool

Wool is an amazingly versatile and useful fabric, but it often gets downplayed because of the number of synthetic fibres and blends available on the market today. We prefer to keep things traditional and, in an increasingly disposable world, that means sticking to what we know will last. Our Australian wool jumpers are made to last.

You may spend less for a synthetic, but it will need to be replaced much sooner than wool. Not only that, it won’t provide nearly the same benefits you’d get from its natural counterpart. That’s why you should stick with natural fibres and blends made from all-natural materials. That’s why you should choose Merino Wool Knitwear.

At Merino Wool Knitwear you'll find Australia's finest pure wool, merino clothing for mens & womens at the best possible prices.

We know all about caring for fine woollen garments at Merino Wool Knitwear. That’s because we’ve been making them for more than 30 years now! Our tradition has been passed down through the family line, and we’re proud to continue serving Australia with our years of experience in the knitwear industry. If you’re having a little trouble keeping your knits looking new, here are some tips we’ve picked up along the way:

Choose a Good Wash Over Dry Cleaning

Many sweaters on the market today call for dry cleaning, but that’s usually because they contain a synthetic blend or seek to keep the wearer from mishandling the garment during washing. However, sometimes dry cleaning can change the stiffness and texture of the fabric because the process uses dry chemical treatments to eliminate bacteria.

First off, your wool already eliminates a lot of bacteria for you. Wool fibres naturally contain antimicrobials that eat away at bacteria, stains and odours. That doesn’t mean your cashmere doesn’t need a wash every now and then! Instead of dry cleaning, hand wash your garment using gentle detergents and cool water, then lay flat and shape it to dry. As the garment dries, you should notice that any minimal stretching will correct itself.

Beware the Moth

There’s nothing tastier to a moth than your nicest cashmere. It seems they prefer to dine gourmet, and that means they’ll head straight for those expensive wools in your closet. Cedar and mothballs really only go so far. These deterrents will only keep the bugs away for so long, but it only takes on brave little moth to nibble a hole in your favourite cardigan.

If you have a problem with moths, we recommend storing your knits in a plastic sandwich bag or a zippable garment bag. This will keep them from having any kind of access so even the bravest moths won’t stand a chance! If you’ve already had an item ruined by pesky little moths, why not find something new from our line of cashmere sweaters? Our online shop offers many styles and colours to choose from, so you’ll be able to find something perfectly matched to your wardrobe!

Purchase Natural Blends and Pure Knits to Avoid Pilling

The number one complaint we see about today’s cashmere knits is early pilling. It used to be that a finely knit sweater would last for decades without showing any real signs of wear and tear. However, manufacturers have begun cutting costs by using synthetic blends with natural fibres. At first, they look great. In fact, they can look just as good as a wholly natural sweater. It’s almost guaranteed that a synthetic blend will begin to pill within the first year of use, if not the first six months! So, a blend may cost less up front, but you’ll be replacing it next year.

Shop With Merino Wool Knitwear for Superior Quality

Our knitwear is made from quality fleece. Any blended materials are combined with other high-quality natural fibres. With proper care, your cashmere will look as good as new for years to come.

Our history of creating the finest cashmere sweaters in Australia means you can trust us for quality and class. So, if you’re looking for a little luxury to add to your wardrobe, look no further than Merino Wool Knitwear.

Wool is highly dependent on the manufacturing process used to produce fine-quality garments. It’s not just about the knits; it’s also about the strength of the fibres created as fleece is spun to yarn.

Strong Wool Fibres Offer Extra Durability

When wool is properly processed, the fibres are able to maintain a firm hold on shape and texture. That means your garments will continue to fit well and resist stretching over time. While it’s natural for wool fibres to expand and contract depending on their exposure to heat and cold, a good washing should bring them back to their natural shape. They’re also less likely to separate and cause the dreaded pilling that quickly ages even a fairly new sweater. Low-quality wool materials simply can’t offer the same durability, especially if they contain a synthetic blend.

You Can Literally Feel the Difference

Wools that are processed using refined methods not only provide extra durability, they’re actually softer to the touch. It’s all about something known as resistance to compression. This is an industry term that is used to grade different varieties of wool based on how they were processed and manufactured.

Woollen fibres are made from protein structures known as keratins. The amount of pressure required to compress a garment until it reaches its smallest state according to volume is what determines the resistance to compression grading. High-quality knits have a low to medium numerical grading, while low-quality knits require more pressure to compress. Basically, this means the fibres are more densely compacted, which leads to a rougher fabric overall. They’re also generally bulkier, and nobody wants that in their clothing. Our men’s wool jumpers are durable, sleek and made to bring out your classically handsome good looks.

If It’s Itchy, It’s not Merino Wool

There are so many ways companies can trick you into purchasing something that is simply not made to last. If you’ve ever purchased an itchy merino wool sweater, you’ve likely bought a product that has a high level of resistance to compression. Merino wools are known for their softness, and they should never feel itchy.ALTERED

When it comes to clothing, luxury is simple: natural fabrics made with care, timeless styles and a tailored fit. Of course, we can’t leave out comfort, and that’s why nothing says luxury quite like a merino wool cardigan. Our Men’s line features quality garments made from the finest wool. We have a long history in the wool industry, and we’re proud to bring you the best knitwear from high-end brands around the world. Everything we offer is made from quality wool and perfectly tailored to keep you looking your best.

It All Starts with the Wool

Our company began more than 30 years ago when our parents started working in the manufacturing of wool knitwear. Many garments took shape across our knitting machines, and we truly learned the value of working with the right materials to craft something of lasting quality.

There are many types of wool available on the market, each with their own set of characteristics. We’ve chosen merino because it’s an amazingly soft and durable wool, resistant to pilling and perfect for shaping into exquisite garments. Other types of wool have their fine points, but none quite meet the needs determined by our strict standards for quality and the Australian environment:

• Mohair is woven from the fleece of Angora goats, it has a soft and silky texture and is known to be quite warm and better suited for cool weather;
• Angora wool is made from rabbit hair which has a soft, supple feel but often must be blended with Nylon to ensure the stability of the fabric
• Alpaca wool offers a soft feel and superior strength, much like merino wool, but it’s a warmer fabric and not well-suited to the Australian climate.

We Only Offer the Best to Our Customers

As you can see, the quality of our clothing is extremely important at Merino Wool Knitwear. That’s why we stick to what we know works best: high-quality merino wool and cashmere. Everything in our line of men’s merino wool cardigans and sweaters uses either pure wool fabrics or high-quality blends with other natural fibres. The timeless styles ensure you’ll stay in vogue for years to come, and your sweater will stay looking great because of the amazing properties of merino wool. This natural fibre is known to:

• Absorb moisture while repelling water vapour, making it ideal for humid climates as it’s naturally sweat-wicking and won’t dampen
• Minimize odours with natural antimicrobials that lessen how often the garment needs washing
• Maintain shape over decades with flexible fibres that expand, contract and bend without becoming distressed
• Help regulate body temperature in any type of weather
• Most importantly, it makes you look classically cool without compromising on comfort!

Are You Ready for a Lifetime of Soft Textures and Total Comfort?

For the quality of clothing we offer to our customers, there’s just no better type of material than merino wool. We take time in sourcing the finest clothing from known international designers, focusing on the classic Italian styles that set Sinatra apart in the rat pack. It’s worth all the extra effort, though.

That’s because the longevity and classic style offered by our line of men’s merino wool cardigans ensures they’ll remain a valuable part of your wardrobe for years to come. Don’t invest in something likely to begin pilling in the next year. Shop our line today and experience true luxury instead.

We’ve been in the business for a long time, and we know exactly what to look for when choosing truly quality garments.

Cashmere is a Special Type of Wool

If you’re going to purchase knitwear that lasts, you have to know a few things about the different types of fabrics. For instance, many people confuse Cashmere and Angora. While both are a type of wool, they’re made from the fleece of different animals. Angora is made from rabbit fur while Cashmere is made from the undercoat of a goat’s fleece. That’s why it has a different texture and softer feel than sheep’s wool.

It’s a Very Rare Type of Knit Fabric

Cashmere is made specifically from the fleece of a Cashmere goat. This is the only species of goat in the world that produces a fleece suitable for weaving into the fine, soft quality common to cashmere. Only hair from the undercoat is narrow enough in diameter to meet quality standards, and this only increases its rarity. In fact, it can take up to four goats to produce enough wool for just one sweater!

Some people even say there are specific parts of the goat that produce better fibres, but most experts agree that any part of the undercoat will yield good results. These are the same experts who will literally put a garment under a microscope to check fibre diameters, and that’s also how they spot fakes. Most people don’t carry a microscope when they go shopping, so how can you know if you’re not getting what you pay for?

How do You Know When You’ve Been Fleeced?

Before you buy, check the feel of the fabric. If it isn’t soft with a slightly smooth texture, it isn’t cashmere. It should also be very supple with no stiffness to the material, and it should not appear shiny. If there is a sheen, it’s likely you’re looking at a regular variety of wool blended with a synthetic fibre.

Purchase from a Reliable Company

The best way to ensure you’re buying the real thing when it comes to cashmere is to purchase from a company who knows the real thing. Trustworthy sources for cashmere could include independent farms, a fibre festival specialising in woollen yarn and garments or from a supplier with more than 30 years experience.

Oh, did we mention that Merino Wool Knitwear has been working with fine wool and cashmere for more than 30 years? You won’t find better cashmere cardigans, and our online shop has a variety of styles that will make you look as good as your new sweater feels!

The Raw Materials for Cashmere are Quite Rare

Cashmere is made from a specific type of goat and the raw materials are actually quite rare. There are only a few places in the world where the Cashmere goat is farmed, and only their undercoat is suitable for weaving into yarn. It’s hard to find pure cashmere, and many companies turn to blending their knits with synthetic fibres to make up the difference.

We may use blends, but only with our high-quality wools and other natural fibres. If your cashmere feels stiff, appears shiny or doesn’t feel super soft to the touch; it’s either a blend or another variety of wool being presented as the real thing.

How to Care for Cashmere

Cashmere is a type of wool, and its care is similar to how you would look after other woollen garments. One difference is that you should never machine wash a cashmere garment. Dry cleaning is a good method for washing, but you should spend some time with your dry cleaner to suss out just how they’re going to handle your clothing. The best option is to hand wash the item using cold water and a mild detergent.

Once you’re finished washing, press the water from your garment. Never wring it out! Some people use a salad spinner to remove excess water, though this too may stretch the fabric. It should be laid flat to dry and will take several days. This is where everything becomes risky because you’ll need to make sure your garment is protected from moths. They love cashmere snacks! Once dry, always fold your garment and put it away in a drawer. Hanging cashmere jumpers will cause the fibres to stretch and the garment to lose shape over time.

It’s Worth the Extra TLC

It seems like a lot to clean one little sweater, but it’s definitely worth the effort! Cashmere, like any type of wool, has natural properties that keep the garment clean. So, it’s likely it won’t need washing after a single wear. However, even if you plan to wash every time you wear, it’s still worth it. Cashmere is one of the softest varieties of wool available, and it has an elastic quality to the fibres that allows a lot of room for movement.

With proper, care your garment will last a very long time. Long enough, in fact, to become a family heirloom. Imagine patiently teaching your children how to care for something you know will one day be theirs. A warm hug to wrap around themselves when they have children of their own.

Bring a Little Cashmere Luxury to Your Life

That’s exactly why people search for true luxury in life. It’s not about keeping up with the neighbours, feeling fancy or treating yourself to the finer things. It’s about recognising that what’s considered a “finer thing” got that way by being the best. We live in an instant world where we don’t think twice about buying disposable items, but not everything should be disposable. Some things are meant to last, to walk with you through the years, and to become part of the legacy you leave behind.

Our company works with the best in the industry to source fine garments from around the world. We carry top brands from Italian designers, many of whom have a history longer than ours. We specialize in the classically cool at Merino Wool Knitwear. Our selection of knitted garments is reminiscent of vintage wool fashions from the 40s and all the way up to today’s trends.

We have patterned cardigans, jumpers and even casual wear so you can look your best no matter the occasion. Thanks to the softness of the wool and comfortable fit, you’ll also feel your best!

Casual Has Never Been So Stylish

To us, being classically cool means bringing a little old-fashioned style into the modern age. That means finding a balance between the staunch, buttoned-up look of your grandparents and the relaxed nature that defines today’s social style. Our selection of knitwear is a perfect way to strike that balance! We have men’s wool cardigans featuring classic patterns that are perfect for Grandpa at Christmas. Of course, you can’t leave out the rest of the family! Our clean, modern styles will make you remember exactly why you fell head over heels for your special guy.

Live Life in the Leading Role

If you want to take the lead in life, you have to dress for the part. Italian-American singer Frank Sinatra lived by that code. That’s why he’s still known for his impeccable style today. Much like our company, Sinatra also recognised the superior quality and fashion offered by Italian designers. Our line of men’s wear offers the same look as classic Italian designs by companies such as Fratelli. That doesn’t mean our look is outdated, however. We strive to bring you a range of styles from vintage classics, all the way to the upscale casual look that dominates today’s fashions.

You see, traditions are all about carrying forward the ideas and actions that shape who we are and want to be. Every new generation will build on this foundation, and we’re proud to continue serving you with quality products like our elegant wool cardigans. Our online shop is filled with treasures made in timeless styles that will last for a long while to come. Much like the traditions we continue to carry forward today.

How to Be Classically Cool

We sell more than clothing from our shop: we sell a way of life. Our forefathers believed in many things. One of them was that style is an important factor for success. Classic fashions have a timeless and luxurious look and feel, but sometimes they don’t quite fit today’s standards for comfort. That’s why we’re improving on those traditions. Today, it’s not about being classy; it’s about being classically cool.

This style is all about comfortable elegance. It’s about purchasing as an investment instead of as an impulse. It’s a little bit of self-control mixed in with self-indulgence.

Live Life with Panache

Panache is the art of living your life with a bit of your own personal flair and a whole lot of style. It’s Clark Gable on the big screen and all the promise of a young Hollywood. To live life with panache, you have to be bold. You have to know what you want and how you’re going to accomplish it, and that is what will live on beyond you.

However, to truly live in style you have to know you’re worth it. You have to decide that the things you fill your life with are going to be of a quality suitable to that worth. Whether it’s the people you surround yourself with, or the elegant wool cardigan you use to create a signature look: how you live says something to the world about how you feel about yourself.

Establish Your Legacy

That’s why it’s important to treat yourself well. Indulge in the right ways. Spending a little extra on your wardrobe sends a message that you’re worth it, and you know it. Not only that, quality garments tend to last much longer than what you would find at a big-box store.

Many people avoid luxury clothing, not just because of price, but also because of the care it requires. You are worth the extra time and effort. Invest in yourself and build a legacy of excellence that you can pass on to future generations. Not only by example but also in the things you leave behind.

Live on Beyond Your Years

Our tradition of bringing you fine woollen garments began with our parents. If they had not worked hard to pass on their knowledge and expertise, we would be unable to continue sharing it with you today. That’s why every purchase becomes something a little more than a jumper or a fine wool cardigan. Australia is our home, and we’re proud that our family business has created such a legacy. We once supplied all uniforms for the AU Post and our Navy. So, when you trust our company, you are placing your trust in a bit of Australian history.

Would you like to become a part of our legacy as you seek to build your own? Shop our line today and find something exquisite, something classically cool. Find something that will live on for decades, a reminder to your descendants of the legacy you wish for them to carry forward.

This is made possible by how the fibres in merino wool are structured on a microscopic level. That’s why merino wool, which comes from sheep native to Australia, is perfectly suited for our climate.

Merino Will Keep You Cool When It’s Hot

It might seem counterintuitive to wear a knit sweater on a hot day, but what if that sweater actually acted to regulate your body temperature? In merino wool, the coiled fibres are made to absorb moisture while releasing and repelling water vapours. This helps to keep you cool by acting as a natural mechanism for dispelling body heat. As your body warms, the sweater absorbs sweat and releases it as a vapour. This keeps merino wool jumpers from becoming moist while, at the same time, releasing body heat along with the vapour.

As an added bonus, the tendency to repel vapour protects you from humidity. That means you’ll be styling in comfort on even the hottest and muggiest Australian days!

You’ll Stay Nice and Warm when It’s Cold

If merino wool is so good at releasing body heat, how does it keep you warm when it’s cold out? Well, do sheep freeze when the temperatures drop? No, and that’s because their fleece is made to respond to outside weather conditions. Natural merino wool fibres are much finer than you’ll find in other wools. This creates little air pockets between the fibres which are able to hold in body heat. When it’s cold out, the merino fibres will naturally hold this heat instead of releasing it into the air as it does while cooling.

That’s how this amazing type of wool is able to keep you warm when it’s cold and cool when it’s warm. Many synthetic fibres have been developed in an attempt to mimic this amazing trick of nature, but none have managed to even come close so far. That’s why there’s simply no replacement for pure merino wool jumpers.

Merino’s Natural Moisture-Wicking is Perfect for the Australian Climate

Australia can be a fairly harsh environment. Lots of sunshine, lots of humidity and a winter that never goes too far below 15°C. Some days, you actually need more help cooling down in the winter! That’s why a nice merino wool garment is a great addition to your wardrobe. It’s perfectly suited for any type of weather served up by the Australian countryside. It all goes back to the sheep. Their fleece is made to protect them from their natural environment. Lucky for us, that’s right here at home!

Live Life Better with Clever Clothing from Merino Wool Knitwear

There’s nothing more clever than mother nature, and she’s really outdone herself when it comes to the fleece used to create fine wools. Our garments are always at the top of the fashion game with classic styles and a timeless look, but it’s the natural fibres that truly make them clever. We’re proud of our company and all the hard work we do to bring you fine merino wool jumpers, but we also know how to give credit where it’s due. When it comes to the superiority of our materials, all the credit goes to the natural processes that have wrought a far better product than anything man has been able to craft.

A little luxury goes a long way towards sprucing up any outfit. Our garments pair nicely with casual looks and dressy occasions. However, luxury is about more than fine clothing. It’s a way of life that focuses on quality over quantity.

Good Wool is a Work of Heart

When you shop with Merino Wool Knitwear, you get quality every time. You see, we understand just how the wool is made. Our company began more than 30 years ago as a manufacturer of fine knitwears for high-end clothing and working uniforms. Today, we continue this tradition by sourcing garments for our customers that are made from the highest quality wools.

Our experience has taught us that knitwear is more than a useful product. It’s a work of heart that is carefully shaped and crafted. It begins with using the right type of fleece to spin to yarn. Without proper yarn made from natural fibres, your jumpers are likely to pill and look worn after very little time. That’s why our products stand out; they’re passionately made and if cared for, sure to last.

You’ll Love our Timeless Fashions

We take quality seriously at Merino Wool Knitwear, but fashion is also one of our top priorities. You see, we know our clothing is going to last for a very long time.

That’s why we’re proud to provide all-natural merino wool clothing in Melbourne and throughout Australia. Our garments are carefully crafted by some of the world’s best Italian designers, and they are made from the finest merino wools produced right here at home.

Merino Wool is Made from Much Better Stuff

You see, natural merino wool comes from the fleece of a merino sheep, which are native to Australia. The fleece is formed from proteins similar to the keratins found in human hair. They’re made to be flexible, maintain temperature and absorb moisture. While synthetics may try to emulate these properties, they really haven’t been able to come close in their finished product.

Wool fibres are formed from 5 basic elements: hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon. These elements come together to form the protein strands that make up the fleece. They create a fibre that is coiled instead of straight. A straight fibre causes an itchy knit as bits of the strand will stick out and rub against your skin. Coiled fibres keep everything tightly wound together, leaving you with the soft feel you’ll find in all the merino wool clothing from our online shop.

Natural Fibres are Made to Last

The coiled nature of natural fibres is also the secret to their longevity. They are able to expand and contract, delivering a level of flexibility that allows your garment to stretch as you move. However, a good washing will return the fibres back to their natural shape. That means your garment will stay looking new for a long time. Synthetic fibres simply don’t have the same flexibility and tend to lose their shape more easily than a natural wool.

Wrap Yourself in the Brilliance of Mother Nature

Let’s face it, no matter how hard we work it’s going to be a while before science trumps mother nature; if it ever does. That’s why we know you’ll find some of the finest merino wool sweaters in Melbourne right here in our little online shop. At Merino Wool Knitwear, we source garments from around the world and they’re always made from all-natural woollen fibres. Shop our line today and wrap yourself up in the brilliant Italian designs improved by mother nature.

Wool Fibre Sets the Foundation for Good Knitwear

Merino wool is well-known for its amazing properties. All wool is antimicrobial, meaning it will naturally eliminate odours from bacteria. However, merino wool has very fine fibres with a smaller diameter than you’ll find in other types of wool or synthetic fibres. This difference in diameter, when paired with the natural coil of a wool fibre, provides extra flexibility and temperature control. Not only that, it means your sweater can hold a lot of moisture before it begins to feel damp.

That makes a merino wool sweater the perfect choice for hot and cold weather. It will also serve you well in extreme weather, such as when it’s raining or the heat has risen well above the level of your comfort. Luxury might cost a little extra, but it also serves a practical purpose that can enhance your quality of life.

Most of Our Garments are Crafted from Fine Merino Wool

Many people have come to love merino wool because it has a very soft and luxurious feel. It’s the thin diameter of the fibres that make it just a little softer than you’ll find with most other wools. That’s why we source garments from brands around the world, all of whom pay close attention to the type of material they use for crafting their line. Most of what we sell is made from merino wool or a blend of merino and cashmere. This ensures we continue to deliver a high level of quality to our customers, and we’ve also found that merino wool is extremely well-suited to the Australian climate.

Other Types of Wool Also have Amazing Properties

Don’t get us wrong; we are proud to serve you with the fine merino wool clothing in our online shop. However, merino isn’t the only type of wool that has some amazing features. You’ll also find mohair wools which are also known for their durability and soft feel. However, mohair is often a bit warmer than merino wools.

We also have many cashmere items available. Cashmere is made from the undercoat of a cashmere goat and is a very rare material. You can save on the cost of cashmere without compromising on quality by choosing a garment blended with merino wool. We have many items available in just such a blend, so shop our line today and treat yourself to something both practical and luxurious.

Stay Comfortable in Our Classically Cool Styles
