Wool, a popular natural fiber,is very often associated with winters. Who doesn’t love the warmth it provides to our bodies! But, that’s not just it. Today, our same old wool has transformed into one of the most versatile fiber leading to innovation of advanced sustainable products.

Let’s take a look at some of the latest innovations of the world’s finest and the most luxurious – ‘Merino wool’.

World’s Lightest Technical Performance T-shirt:

It’s a combination of wool’s natural properties- like its breathability, elasticity and odour resistance with certain technological advancements resulted in a fabric that is significantly light and extremely durable, weighing just 95 gsm. All these along with the thermo-regulating properties of wool, making it ideal for hiking, climbing as well as athletics.

Wind and Water-Resistant Wool:

This fabric is created from 100% Merino wool, that too without any chemical treatments! It is achieved by optimizing the processes of spinning and weaving, andcontrolling its natural stretch during finishing processes.The fabric thus created becomes extremely tight and dense along with its natural fine properties.

Wool Sneakers:

high performance Merino wool shoes are a great success today. This happened not only because of its natural properties, but also due to its high-performance abilities. The latest spinning and knitting technology aids in special technical blending, reducing wastage and adding abrasion resistance to the shoes. A 100% Merino layer is used on the innermost surface, right next to the wearer’s skin, making it extremely comfortable. It absorbs and evaporates moisture, keeping the feet dry and odourless. Also, wool’s natural breathability and shoes’ seamless design keeps the sole extremely breathable and comfortable, allowing the wearer to run sock-free!

Seamless Yoga Apparels:

Fitness and nature almost always go hand-in-hand. Therefore, all the afore mentioned Merino wool properties, along with its eco-friendly nature (viz, natural, renewable and biodegradable) gave rise to the thought of creating yoga wear with wool. After investigating the patterns that complement the female body, unique ‘seamless’ structures were developed that target functionality as well as softness. This was achieved by developing a superfine 15.5-micron merino wool yarn. This ensures next-to-skin softness and comfort. Seamless has taken this comfort to a new level. It is achieved by using state-of-the-art Circular Seamless Knitting machines.

Thus, Merino fleece can be claimed as adaptable, forefront and a smart option in contrast to different strands. Effectively, making Wool the new ‘cool’!
