The all-rounder of the wools are neither particularly scratching nor linting. They touch the skin softly, with a nice smoothness. They provide a smooth sensation.

Among the all-rounders of wool types we count:

Merino / Virgin Wool

Cotton / Cotton Blends

Synthetic / Synthetic Blends

They can be applied to a wide range of products without losing their fascination. Another significant point in this category is the easy care of synthetic fibers.

Merino is incredibly versatile and varies very much in fineness. The finer the fiber, the softer the wool. That also affects the characteristics of wool. Compared to the superfine fibers, with emphasis on the voluminous softness, the slightly thicker fibers have their focus especially in terms of durability. Often one speaks here of Virgin Wool.
The fineness of wool depends mainly on the origin of the sheep. The soft, durable fibers are supplied by Merino sheeps from Germany, England and Africa. Again, there are differences in softness. The quality of animal husbandry plays a very important role.

Whether superfine fibers or durable: Merino and Virgin Wool, respectively, have impressive properties.

• Moisture regulation: the fibre absorbs moisture up to 35% of its own weight – without feeling wet.
• The fibers contain up to 85% air, which has an insulating effect and makes it breathable – the wool warms in winter and cools in summer.
• External influences, such as odors during cooking or heavy sweating can be eliminated by a brief airing.
• Bonus: Even firefighters put on protective clothing made of merino because it is hardly inflammable.
• Natural wool holds lanolin – the natural lipid of wool. This brings further properties:
  • antibacterial and dirt repellent
  • nurturing and anti-inflammatory

Cotton is a natural fiber that is extracted from the cotton plant. The capsule-like fruit grows out of the blossoms of the plant. It finally bursts and wears a tangle of white fibers. The robust and soft fibers protect the seeds, they spread with the wind and take a lot of moisture to aid germination.
In order that the seeds can be worn in her white dress from the wind and be spreaded, the fibers must be very fine and light. The ability to absorb extra moisture ensures a pleasant climate on the skin.

These natural advantages make the fiber so significant and admirable.

• especially soft and skin-friendly
• absorbs a lot of moisture without feeling wet
• durable and easy to care
• robust and stretchy
• supple sensation

Also blends with cotton deliver these advantages. For example, a particularly fine fiber like mohair becomes smoother and more durable when it is combined with cotton. This mixture is, also thanks to the mohair, nice fluffy and cuddly.

The longer the cotton fiber, the higher the quality. This is influenced as well by the quality of cultivation. That’s why we rely on organic cotton – cotton from certified organic farming.

Synthetic fibers are made from petroleum or coal. In addition, there are also semi-synthetic fibers based on natural raw materials, produced chemically.
The advantages of these fibers are their durability and ease of care. When it comes to wearing comfort and environmental compatibility, synthetic fibers are much worse than organic ones. Moisture is not or hardly transported and therefore the skin sweats quite quickly and bacterial odors arise.
Semisynthetic fibers have the advantage of being biodegradable and recyclable. Also, thanks to moisture transport, they are more comfortable to wear on skin.

• easy-care and robust
• biodegradable and recyclable semi-synthetic fibers

Polyamide, polyester and polyacrylic belong to the synthetic fibers. Viscose and modal belong to the semisynthetic fibers.

Due to the easy-care of synthetic fibers, wool with a synthetic blend is suitable for clothing that needs to be cleaned frequently. A good alternative is always cotton or gently produced semi-synthetic such as lyocell (from eucalyptus).

Basically we recommend natural materials because of the advantages that can not be surpassed.
