Benefits of Merino Cashmere

• Superior Warmth & Softness: Cashmere is eight times warmer than wool, and when blended with merino, it creates an incredibly soft yet durable fabric that offers exceptional warmth without bulk.
• Thermoregulating & Breathable: The natural fibres of merino and cashmere work together to regulate body temperature, keeping you warm in cold weather while preventing overheating.
• Odour Resistant: Merino’s antimicrobial properties neutralise odours, keeping your beanie fresh for longer periods between washes.
• Crease-Resistant: The fabric holds its shape and colour, even after long wear, making it ideal for travel or daily use.
• Sustainable Choice: Both merino and cashmere are renewable, biodegradable, and carbon-neutral fibres, offering a sustainable, eco-friendly option.

Wash Care Instructions

• Hand wash using gentle detergent, wool, or baby shampoo.
• Lay flat to dry on a towel.
• Iron gently with slow steam if necessary.
• Do not tumble dry, as the wool will shrink.

Why Hand Wash Only?

We use hand wash-only merino cashmere to maintain the softness and durability of the fibres. Machine-washable versions are often treated with chemicals that degrade over time, leading to pilling and loss of shape. Hand washing preserves the natural integrity of the wool, ensuring your beanie remains soft, long-lasting, and eco-friendly.
