What is Merino Wool?
Merino wool is a type of wool that comes from the merino sheep, which is found mainly in Australia and New Zealand. It is renowned for its softness, warmth, and breathability, making it an ideal choice for clothing. Unlike other types of wool, merino wool does not itch, and it is gentle on the skin, making it ideal for children.Why Merino Wool is Ideal for School Children
There are many reasons why merino wool is the perfect fabric for school children. Let's take a look at some of the most important benefits:
Comfort - Merino wool is incredibly soft, making it a comfortable fabric for children to wear. Unlike other types of wool, merino wool does not itch, and it is gentle on the skin, making it ideal for school children who spend long hours sitting in the classroom.
Warmth - Merino wool is a natural insulator, which means it retains warmth, making it perfect for children during the colder months. Children who wear merino wool are less likely to feel cold, and they will stay warmer throughout the day.
Breathability - Merino wool is also a highly breathable fabric, which means it allows air to circulate and prevents overheating. This is important for children who spend long hours in the classroom, as overheating can cause discomfort and affect their performance.
Durability - Merino wool is a durable fabric, which means it will last for many years, even with regular use. This makes it an ideal choice for school children who are hard on their clothes.
Easy Care - Merino wool is easy to care for, as it is naturally stain-resistant, can be machine-washed with supermarket wool wash and is quick to dry. This makes it a convenient choice for busy parents who don't have time to hand-wash their children's clothes.
