• 70% soft Merino wool and 30% pure silk - a warm yet breathable blend
• a fine, stretchy knit keeps this stripy vest close to the skin
• pure silk for added softness - perfect for sensitive skins

This is made from a blend of 70% organic Merino wool and 30% pure silk. This blend combines the thermo-regulating properties of a soft, fine wool with the silkiness of pure silk on the skin.

The organic Merino wool is certified as organic by IMO to GOTS standards.

The use of pesticides both on the meadows and the animal is inadmissible. The animals procreate in a natural way and any kind of change on the animal such as trimming the tail or mulesing are forbidden. In short – the sheep should live a happy life!

The certified organic origin of the wool ensures that it has been produced without noxious substances like pesticides and herbicides.

Wool (and thus Merino wool) has many benefits when worn next to the skin and about the body. Find out more about the properties of wool here in our blog.

The addition of silk results in a fabric that is luxuriousy silky to the touch. Silk is a natural temperature regulator, helping the body retain heat in cold weather and excess heat is expelled in warm weather. Therefore your body maintains a natural, comfortable temperature.

Silk is hypoallergenic; it does not attract dust mites and is a natural fungal repellent.

With it's extremely smooth and soft texture silk proves to be beneficial for those with sensitive skin conditions (e.g. Eczema). Silk does not conduct static electricity.

Organic Merino wool combined with the gentle, skin-friendly properties of silk makes the ultimate fabric for the well-being of the skin and body.

After wearing, the best thing to do is to hang your silk/wool clothing to air rather than wash.

Wool is naturally self-cleaning, the outer surfaces of the fibre pushing dirt down and off itself. It's naturally anti-bacterial and neutralises odours too. Silk also releases dirt easily

When you do need to wash it, hand wash in cold water as follows.

Use a detergent designed for wool and silk which protects and repenishes wool's natural oils such as one of our liquid wool shampoos in our fabric care section here.

Dilute your wool detergent in a bowl of cold water.

Add your woollens to the bowl, gently stirring and squeezing the detergent through. Rinse using cold water

To dry, gently squeeze water out and wrap your wool clothes in a towel to remove the excess water. Air-dry naturally avoiding direct heat. So, hanging on a drying rack over the bath is good, or on a clothes horse.
