Merino wool is finer than traditional wool, which means it sits softly against the skin without the scratch many people associate with knitwear. It breathes, regulates temperature and naturally resists odour, so a merino cardigan or jumper is comfortable in the office, while travelling or on a cool summer evening. Unlike merino possum, pure merino has a smooth, clean finish and a little more natural stretch, which makes it ideal for fitted shapes and layering under jackets.
Look at fabric weight when choosing. Fine knits and rib-knit basics are light enough to wear year round, while chunkier textured knits and sloppy joes offer more warmth. Classic shapes such as a V neck or crew neck work with almost anything, and a button cardigan is the ultimate layering piece. Merino knitwear is easy to care for: hand wash or use a gentle wool cycle, reshape while damp, and dry flat. With care, it resists pilling and keeps its shape for years.
