Merino wool is wool from the merino breed of sheep. Merino has a natural, finer fibre than other sheep wool which makes softer, more comfortable clothing. The natural benefits of wearing merino wool clothing include: thermoregulation support (cools you down or warms you up as needed by managing moisture), antibacterial and anti-odour (less washing), durable, easy to wash and dry, lightweight, great for layering and travel, supports babies as they develop thermoregulation, scientifically proven to improve eczema and reduce skin irritation, fire retardant and it's biodegradable.
