Unmatched Softness and Natural Breathability:

Merino wool is prized for its incredibly soft fibres. Unlike coarser wools, merino wool feels gentle against the skin, making it suitable for even the most delicate clothing. Additionally, merino wool boasts exceptional breathability, allowing air to circulate and preventing overheating. This makes it a comfortable choice for garments worn year-round.

Perfect for Dyeing and Printing:

This 100% merino wool fabric is an excellent choice for those who enjoy adding a personal touch to their creations. The natural fibres readily accept dyes, allowing you to achieve vibrant and long-lasting colours.

Natural Dyeing Techniques:

• Superior Color Results: Compared to cellulosic fibres like cotton or linen, animal fibres like merino wool offer a wider range of achievable colour depths and vibrancy.
• Even Dye Absorption: The Merino wool fabric absorbs dye evenly, resulting in a consistent and beautiful finished product.
• Pre-washing is Key: Before dyeing, it’s crucial to wash the fabric with a gentle soap like Marseille soap or soda crystals. This removes any impurities that might hinder the dye uptake.
• Temperature Sensitivity: Merino wool is sensitive to temperature changes. Ensure your dye bath is lukewarm and allow it to cool down gradually after dyeing.

Sustainable and Ethical Material:

Merino wool is a natural and renewable resource, making it a sustainable choice for eco-conscious crafters. Additionally, the origin of the wool fibres (Jammu and Kashmir, India) and the location of weaving (Punjab, India) can potentially support traditional textile production practices.
