Usually find wool itchy?
Traditional wool scratches because its fibres are thick and coarse, with sharp ends that prick your skin. These gloves use ultra-fine 18.5-micron merino fibres that bend smoothly against your skin instead, for a silky, cashmere-like feel.
Thin enough to layer. Wear them on their own on cool days, or as a warm, breathable base layer under your outer gloves when the cold really bites.
One size fits all
No measuring needed — one size is made to fit all hands.

Scratchy wool, or sweaty synthetics. You shouldn't have to pick one.
Traditional wool gloves prickle. Synthetic fleece traps sweat, so your hands go clammy and then cold again. We chose fine merino because it avoids both problems.
- Soft against bare skin, with no itchy prickle. Ultra-fine natural merino fibres feel silky smooth, giving you natural warmth without the coarse scratch of traditional wool.
- Breathable warmth that doesn't go sweaty. Merino traps warmth when you're chilly and releases moisture vapour when you heat up, so your hands stay dry and comfortable instead of clammy.
- Fresh for longer. Wool fibres naturally resist bacteria and odours, so the gloves stay fresh wear after wear and need washing less often.
Better than fleece, and kinder to the planet. Synthetic fleece is made from petroleum-based plastics and sheds microplastics in the wash. Merino is a 100% biodegradable natural fibre, and with proper care it can outlast synthetics by years.
How to wash them
- Machine wash cold — on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent
- Skip the bleach and fabric softener — both can damage the fibres
- Lay flat to air-dry — this keeps their shape
- Wash less often — once every 5 to 10 wears is enough; just air them out between uses
Will they shrink?
Not if you follow the care steps above. A cold, gentle wash and drying flat keep the wool at its original size and shape.
Will they pill or wear thin?
Long-staple, tightly spun fibres resist rubbing and pilling far better than cheap short-fibre wool blends. After months of heavy wear you may see a little natural fuzzing in high-friction spots. It brushes away cleanly and doesn't thin the fabric.
Will my hands overheat indoors?
No. Merino is naturally hygroscopic: it absorbs moisture vapour before it turns into sweat and releases it into the air, so your hands stay warm without feeling clammy.

Thin enough to layer, soft enough to forget
Breathable Temperature Regulation (Never Sweaty)
Naturally balances body heat by trapping warmth when you're chilly and releasing moisture vapor when you heat up, keeping your skin dry and cozy without the clammy sweat of synthetic fleece.
Natural Odor Resistance That Lasts
Pure wool fibers naturally resist bacterial buildup and odors, staying fresh and clean wear after wear so you spend less time washing and get long-lasting plush softness.
What customers actually say
Zero itch, even right against my sensitive Skin
"I have sensitive skin and usually can't wear wool at all—within ten minutes my skin is red and prickly. A friend convinced me to try this because of the fine micron rating. It feels completely different. It's as soft as worn-in cotton or cashmere. I've worn it three days straight around the house and haven't had a single itch."
Keeps you warm on freezing mornings without making you sweat indoors
"Synthetic fleece always makes me overheat as soon as I walk inside from the cold, and then I feel damp and chilled. This merino breathes naturally. It keeps the morning chill off my shoulders when the thermostat is low, but I don't have to take it off once the house warms up. It just keeps your temperature even."
Wore it for a full week on a cabin trip with zero odor
"The odor resistance is real. I packed light for a 7-day trip to Vermont and wore this virtually every day by the fireplace and on walks. Did the sniff test on day six and it smelled completely neutral. Synthetic fabrics start smelling sour after one afternoon of wear, but pure merino simply doesn't hold bacteria."
Washed in the machine on gentle and held its shape perfectly
"My biggest fear with genuine wool was that it would shrink down to doll size on the first wash. I followed the tag: cold gentle cycle in a mesh laundry bag, laid it flat on a drying rack. It came out looking brand new. No pilling along the seams, no shrinking, and the softness actually improved."
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it really 100% itch-free? Wool usually makes me scratch.
+
Yes. Traditional wool scratches because it uses thick, coarse fibers with sharp barbs that prick your skin. We use ultra-fine 18.5-micron long-staple merino wool fibers that bend smoothly against bare skin, providing a silky, cashmere-like feel that never causes redness or itching.
How do I wash it without shrinking or ruining the fabric?
+
Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle using mild detergent (avoid bleach or fabric softeners). Lay flat to air-dry. Because merino wool naturally repels dirt and bacteria, you only need to wash it once every 5 to 10 wears—simply airing it out between uses keeps it fresh.
Will it make me overheat or feel sweaty when I'm indoors?
+
No. Unlike polyester and acrylic synthetics that trap perspiration against your body, merino wool is naturally hygroscopic: it absorbs moisture vapor before it turns to liquid sweat and releases it into the air, keeping you comfortably warm without ever feeling clammy.
Does it pill or wear thin after everyday use?
+
We use long-staple, tightly spun fibers that resist surface abrasion and pilling far better than cheap short-fiber wool blends. While slight natural fuzzing can occur in high-friction areas over months of heavy wear, it brushes away cleanly and does not thin out the structural fabric.
What makes pure merino wool worth the price over synthetic fleece?
+
Synthetic fleece is derived from petroleum plastics: it traps sweat, holds persistent body odors, and sheds microplastics in the wash. Pure merino wool is 100% biodegradable, naturally temperature-regulating, and outlasts synthetics by years when cared for properly.
