There’s a reason that merino wool is so special - and it all starts at the source

Merino sheep are one of the oldest and hardiest breeds, characterised by their ability to withstand the most extreme conditions - from the high heats of scorching southern summers to the freezing cold winters of the rugged alpine ranges.

These conditions require a special kind of fleece. That’s where nature steps in to provide a coat that keeps the sheep cool in high temperatures, and warm when winter hits.

Despite its strength, merino wool is fine and soft, with properties that are hard to match with man-made fibres. It’s merino’s natural ability to regulate temperature, wick away moisture and cancel out odours that make it so popular for both adventure gear and everyday wear. Softer and gentler compared to other wool fibres, there’s a touch of luxury that comes with having merino wool against your skin. It’s no surprise that some of the world’s finest merino wool is produced in the Southern Hemis-phere, where the beautiful environ-ments and leading farming practices ensure healthy sheep and high quality fibres.

Nature knows best when it comes to creating fabric fibres, the natural benefits of merino wool are numerous. It’s no surprise that it has become a wardrobe staple, from adventure wear to sports gear to everyday fashion.

It’s soft on skin

The super fine fibres of merino wool offer a luxuriously soft fabric once spun, making it gentle on skin (especially the sensitive skin of babies), without the irritation of traditional wool.

It keeps you dry

This clever wool is able to draw moisture away from the skin as a vapour, which is then released into the air. It means that even when you’re working up a sweat, your skin will stay warm and dry, without feeling clammy.

It’s not just for winter

Merino wool is a versatile fabric that can be worn all year round, due to its ability to regulate body temperature. Merino keeps heat in when the outside temperature is cold, and releases unwanted warmth when temperatures increase.

It stays fresh for longer

Merino’s special fibres help trap odour caused by bacteria, keeping your socks fresher for longer. Merino socks are great for travelling or for activities that call for a little more exertion!

It’s a better choice for the planet

Merino is a natural, regenerative fibre, grown by happy, healthy sheep. What starts in nature, can go back to nature too - merino is completely biodegradable, meaning it breaks down in the ground and puts nutrients back into soil.

We are award-winning

Most of us know the inconvenience of wearing socks that constantly slip down. We’ve solved this issue with our award-winning knee-high socks that stay up and stay on!

We are NZ made

We are a New Zealand brand, our socks are manufactured in New Zealand. Supporting us means supporting a small Kiwi business!

Developed by nature, not in a lab.

Our socks are made with merino wool, and just a small amount of elastane. Because merino is made by nature, it’s completely biodegradable, so it’s not only a great choice on your skin, it’s also a better choice for the planet.

We give back

Supporting our community is important to us. We regularly donate socks for fundraisers and to organisations who provide support to those in need.

We are making more conscious choices

Sustainability sits at the heart of our ethos. We’re mindful with the choices we make when it comes to packaging and printing, opting for eco-friendly options where possible.

We’re working hard to reduce our impact
