Product background.

We where initially introduce to the combination of Wool and Tencel by an state of the art knitting factory located here in Sweden. In a small town called Marbäck just outside Ulricehamn you find the company and factory Marbäck Tricot. Established in 1965 they have evolved and through the years refined the craftsmanship of knitting.

After some initial tries we simply fell in love with the fabric as an first layer quality. Thanks to its lack of plastics like Polyamide or Polyester is more or less odour resistant. It simply does not start to smell and after a night aired on a hanger its like you haven’t worn it. We wear them weeks in a row without washing.

Functions.

1. Moister control.
The combination of Merino wool and Tencel is a perfect blend for a first layer and helps you keeping the right body temperature. You will simple be: not too warm or too cold in this t-shirt.

2. Keeps you warm while.
One of the magical properties of wools, it keeps you worm even when wet.

3. Does not start to smell.

As there are no synthetic fibers like Nylon or Polyester involved the t-shirt can be worn much longer without starting to smell.

4. Longer in the back.
Our version is slightly long in the back, keeping your back protected at all times.

Measurements.

We recommend that you compare the measurements of a sweater you already own with the measurements of our hoodie and select your size. Please note that the garment is handmade and the meassurments may vary approximately +/-1cm. The weight is also approximately and can wary sligtly.

Materials.

The fabric is a 170g/sqm knit and 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, great evaporate 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 t-shirt 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 t-shirt on a hanger over night! This will save both you en the environment many washes compare to an ordinary polyester och cotton t-shirt.

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.
