Woolen clothing

Merino wool is finer and softer, making it suitable for wearing directly on the skin. Regular wool is often sturdier and more durable, which makes it suitable for sweaters and cardigans.

The best choice depends on the use.

You can identify real wool clothing by the label. Check the label (this is your basis).
Look for 100% wool, merino wool, or virgin wool. Please note, with blends such as: "wool 50% / acrylic 50%" → it is not a pure wool product.

Reliable designations:

• Virgin wool = first shearing, highest quality.
• Merino wool = finer, softer, less itchy
• Avoid vague terms like "wool blend" without a percentage.

Look for quality marks (extra assurance):

• Woolmark → guarantee that it is real wool
• RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) → controlled origin
• OEKO-TEX → tested for harmful substances.
