The Merino Wool Advantage
Merino wool is soft, strong, breathable, and naturally moisture- and odor-resistant—perfect for everyday use in any season.

Durable by Design
Beautiful yet tough, Merino wool resists wear and stays fresh, blending timeless style with lasting performance.

Sustainable & Certified
Our wool is renewable, biodegradable, and Oeko-Tex® Certified—crafted with care for a lighter environmental footprint.

Care Instructions:

~ Water
Merino wool and cotton canvas handle moisture well. Let wool air dry; lay flat with weight if needed to maintain shape.

~ Stains (Wine, Oil, Food)

1. Saturate stain with warm water + mild detergent.
2. Gently massage, wait 2–3 min.
3. Pat (don’t rub) with paper towel.
4. Repeat as needed.
5. Rinse and pat dry. Lay flat to dry.

~ Dry Stains
Use a lint roller to remove debris and refresh wool or felt surfaces.

~ Mud & Dirt
Let mud dry completely. Tap off dust, then vacuum gently using a clean hose attachment and short, quick motions.
