Why choose merino wool over synthetic?
Merino wool is generally more comfortable, offers superior odour control, and is naturally wicking. It is also renewable whereas the synthetic products are a by-product of oil.
How do I care for my merino garments?
Machine-wash on gentle cycle in warm or cool water (avoid hot water as heat may shrink wool). Use mild soap, no bleach or fabric softener.
Is merino heavy and itchy?
No! Merino fibres are much finer than standard wool fibres, meaning they are more flexible and bend when pressed against the skin. This is what makes merino wool soft, comfortable and ultra-lightweight to wear.
Is merino wool ethical?
All of Zee Zee's clothing is ethically made in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand from sustainably sought 100% merino fabric.
