Taking Care of Merino Wool Knitwear

OATLANDS, Australia - May 20, 2013 - PRLog -- As compare to any other wool or synthetic fabrics, merino wool is considered as the world’s softest and finest quality of wool. Merino wool is finely crimped generally less than 24 microns in diameter, which makes it extremely soft and light fabric. Moreover, a fine merino may have up to 100 crimps per inch, which makes it the breathable fabric suitable for almost any season. This quality makes merino a well suited fabric to blend with other natural fibres such as silk and cashmere.

Additionally, merino knitwear can be easily styled and is available in an array of fashionable products for all men, women and children. The array of merino knitwear products includes but not limited to cardigans, vests, jackets, jumpers, sweaters, hat, scarves, wool wraps, and much more.

Yet, even if you have opted for world’s finest quality of wool, it is also equally important for you to take proper care of it so it can last long. Hence, below are some important tips that can allow you to keep your merino wool knitwear in tip-top condition retaining its look, feel and shape for years.

·         Avoid wearing the same merino wool knitwear jumper or cardigan, sweater or perhaps any other for consecutive days. It will allow the wool to maintain its natural resilience, which will allow the spring in the wool fibre to have enough time to recover and bounce back.

·         Merino is a breathable fabric, which separates it apart from other fabrics. Once you are done wearing the merino, hang it in a cool, fresh place giving it enough room to expand. This will allow the creases to disappear on their own, and the wool will seem to be much more luxuriant and thicker. Later the knitwear should be folded away in a well-ventilated place to help it retain its shape.

·         If the merino gets wet then don’t put it under direct sunlight for hours. Also don’t put it in the tumble drier unless the label specifically says you can. Always dry the merino in shade, it may take a while to dry but will help to regain its shape and last long.

·         Also ensure that the pockets are empty when you take the knitwear off. If the pockets are not empty then they will soon start to bulge and sag, and the best classic styling of the merino will be lost.

·         Finally, don’t forget to check the label. It is always advisable to check the label for washing instructions. Though there is no standard formula of washing merino wool as different wool weights and blends needs to be cared in a different way. However, reading the instructions will surely help to achieve this, which will help you maintain your merino.
