Beyond a long sleeve sweater, your everyday multi-adventure sweater, thats it. Multi-purpose and multi-use is for sure one of the cornerstones in every product we launch and one of the key thoughts behind the brand. And for every product we launch it feels like we are getting better and better at finding those small tweaks that makes the product simply work and preform no matter what activity you use it in. With this new merino sweater we are even closer to ticking all those boxes.

Jacob measures 186cm in height and weighs 75kg and he is wearing size medium.

Product background.

The idea with this product was to make a 1,5 layer. A layer that you could use a the first layer or have a t-shirt under and use it as your
second layer. We wanted to find a Merino wool fabric that what slightly thicker that your normal Merino wool t-shirt but stil thin enough to be a lightweight alternative. To sum it up a sweater that works great as a lighter mid-layer and better than your traditional fleece.

Materials.

The main fiber, 60%, is mulesing free merino wool. Merino wool has some of the most astonishing qualities. It is a great insulator and has at the same time, greatevaporate properties. This means that when in cold climate, merino wool keeps you warm and when in warm climate, merino wool cools you down. It is also naturally anti-bacterial which means that you can wear your sweater longer without starting to smell. Merino wool is an organic and sustainable fiber and we have sourced the highest quality wool, guaranteed mulesing free. 

The other 40% of our blend is Tencel. Tencel is a cellulose fiber that comes from the raw material wood. It is such a fine fiber that it is
soft like silk to your skin. Not only is Tencel extremely smooth, it has also really good absorbent and evaporate properties. This means that it helps the merino wool to regulate your temperature and keeping you, not too warm, not too cold. Just like merino wool the Tencel fiber is an organic and sustainable fiber. 

You will be amazed how fresh the fabric feels if you put the sweater on a hanger over night! This will save both you en the environment many washes compare to an ordinary polyester och cotton sweater.

Origin.

We believe that transparency plays an extremely important role. Once one fully understand the complexity of production, one can start to change it and that is why we also want to share the true story behind our products.To really understand where a product has been made you have to break it down into all its components and materials. All these materials and components are almost never produced in the same place or country as where the product is sewn.

Care.

In addition to the garment-specific wash instructions, there are some general tips that can both extend the life of the garments and save you a lot of time in the laundry room.

Air: The absolute easiest and best way to keep your garments fresh is to air them. Some materials such as merino wool have natural antibacterial properties. This means that the garment stays fresh much longer. You will be amazed at how fresh the t-shirt feels after being aired on a hanger during the night.

Focus on the stain: Did you get a stain? Focus on it. It is often that garments are washed completely unnecessarily, when you really only need to remove a small stain. In most cases, it is enough to rub a little hand dishwashing detergent with lukewarm water on the stain. Then make sure to rinse thoroughly and hang to dry.

Detergent: Use the right detergent for the right material. There are a plenty of different detergents out there, so try to find a detergent that is both gentle on the environment and your garment. Some materials are a little more delicate, such as merino wool. For these garments, we recommend Organotex wool and down wash.

Specific care instrucitons: Delicate wash inside out with similar colors at 30°C. Do not tumble dry. Do not use fabric softener. Do not bleach or dry clean. Stretch when wet and we recommend that you use woo-detergent.

Since it is 100% natural fibers and no nylon or polyester is involved, the fibers can "twist" during washing and sometimes the fibers may need a little extra help to find their way back to the right position after washing.

A tip, if you have access to a steam iron, is to "steam" the sweater. Hang the sweater on a hanger and apply the steam fairly close up. The humid heat causes the fibers to return to their original position. Often the body heat can do the job and it forms quite quickly when you have been wearing it for a while. Another tip is to shape the sweater when it is wet after washing and let it dry lying on, for example, a towel.
