This is made in 100% organic Merino wool certified as organic by IVN to GOTS standards.

Merino wool is a kind of wool fibre that is very fine, soft and springy and is not itchy at all to most skins. The Merino sheep usually thrives in mountainous areas at high altitudes and its wool is naturally brilliant at keeping the body comfortable at a wide range of temperatures.

Relax's organic Merino wool is certified to GOTS organic standards by IVN. All certified organic wool comes from sheep which have been farmed organically and with high animal welfare standards. The organic status refers to all stages of manufaturing process from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing up to labeling in order to provide a credible assurance to the end consumer.

The wool is sourced from farms where 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 live a happy life!

Wool (and thus Merino wool) has many benefits including being anti-bacterial and allowing the body to regulate its own temperature. See the blog for more details.

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... so after wearing, the best thing to do is to hang your wool to air.

Reiff's organic Merino wool is a very delicate fabric so care must be taken when washing. Relax recommends hand washing in cold water that is less than 10oc.

Use a detergent designed for wool which protects and repenishes wool's natural oils as sold in our fabric care category here.

To hand-wash your organic Merino wool, dilute your wool detergent in a bowl.

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.
