Your midlayers are essential to staying comfortable and warm. While Merino wool clothing is often used as a base layer for breathability and odor resistance, you need a midlayer made from the same materials. Throwing in a synthetic layer can interrupt the flow of water evaporation and leave you feeling wet, clammy, and cold. The best Merino wool sweaters will keep you warm and comfortable. Layer smart and stay dry in any conditions.

How to Wash Merino Wool Sweaters

You might be surprised how easy it is to care for your Merino wool sweater. The waxy Lanolin coating on the fibers makes garments resistant to stains and its antibacterial qualities keep garments safe from odor-causing bacteria. You might be surprised how long you can go without having to wash your shirts and sweaters!

When it is time to do laundry, you can machine wash your Merino wool sweater. Use your usual detergent on the normal wash cycle and throw it in with the rest of your laundry. Hand washing is also an option. Let soak for 10-20 minutes in warm water with a few drops of detergent. Drain the sink and rinse with fresh water. Do not wring out Merino wool.

The most effective way to dry Merino wool is by air-drying it flat on a towel, flipping from time to time. You can also hang dry it over a chair or bannister, but DO NOT tumble dry.
