Merino wool is a much finer fibre than lambswool, it is very strong, flexible & elastic. When these fine fibres brush against your skin they bend and flex = no itch for you! Merino wool provides a lot more warmth for a lot less bulk. Don’t be fooled by our lightweight Merino scarves – they are sure to keep you toasty warm.
Lambswool on the other hand is bulkier and not quite as soft as Merino wool. This is because the fibres are courser and generally the staples (fibre length) are shorter. Both Merino and Lambswool share the same wool qualities: it’s a great insulator, keeps you warm, wicks moisture – in turn keeping your body dry and it’s breathable.
