Weight and Micron explained
What about weight?
The weight of a wool product gives a good indication of its warmth and thickness. Learn more about the differences in weight here.
Heavyweight, midweight or lightweight?
Heavyweight base layers (225g and up) provide the most warmth, with our iconic Rose and Silja standing out in this category. Midweight base layers (185g–224g) offer balanced warmth, making Smekker and Else our bestsellers. For a lighter feel, our lightweight base layers (140g–184g) include favorites like Sval and Fryd, perfect for milder conditions or layering.
What about Micron?
Micron is the unit used to measure the diameter of wool fibers. Not sure what to look for or what the micron indicates? Keep reading!
The finer the wool, the lower the value
The finer the wool, the lower the micron value. Fibre diameter is the key factor in determining wool’s quality and value, influencing its softness, durability, and overall feel.
Rougher wool is 35.40 micron, whilst superfine wool is 17-21 micron.
Wool explained
What is wool?
Wool is a natural fiber most commonly obtained from sheep. Wool is used in a variety of textiles
and can be found woven or knitted. After shearing washing and carding, the fibers are spun
into yarns in all sorts of thicknesses and gauges, depending upon the intended use. For wool weaving, the yarn tends to be very fine. For knitting, it may be quite thick.What is merino wool?
The Merino is an economically influential breed of sheep prized for its wool. The breed is originally from southern Spain and later inroduced to Australia. Merinos are regarded as having some of the finest and softest wool of any sheep. Merino wool is common in high-end, performance athletic wear.
Regulating body temperature
Merino wool is excellent at regulating body temperature, especially when worn against the skin. The wool provides warmth, without over heating the wearer. It draws moisture away from the skin, this process is called wicking. A merino wool fiber can absorb and retain up to 30% of its own weight in moisture and still feel dry to the touch. This helps to avoid hypothermia after sweating from demanding exercise or getting wet in the rain.
Softest type of wool
Merino wool is one of the softest types of wool available, due to its fine fibers and small scales. Merino wool has a porous structure giving it great thermal insulation properties. The structure of the fibers creates millions of air pockets, all of which further help to regulate temperature and humidity.
