How to care for merino wool

Merino is naturally odour-resistant, so it needs washing far less often than you'd think — airing a jumper overnight is usually enough.

When you do wash it, use a wool-cycle and a gentle detergent, then dry flat to keep its shape. Avoid hanging, which can stretch the shoulders.

Stored folded with a cedar block, a good merino knit will last for many seasons.
