WHY MERINO?
WHAT IS SO UNIQUE ABOUT IT?
Merino is a breed of sheep, a lovely animal kind that provides for people wool with excellent properties of softness, temperature regulation, elasticity and many others. This kind of animal has strong yet very soft hair, which is why it feels so pleasant to the touch. Merino sheep wool is distinguished by its extremely delicate fine fibers, and at the same time it is very durable.
Merino fibers can hold large volumes of air inside, which ensures heat retention without causing overheating.
Among other great features is also the fact that these fibers do not absorb smells and odors, therefore they are rightfully classified as a high-quality and elite type of material.
Merino wool contains a unique component - lanolin. Microscopic particles of this substance penetrate the skin, and then into the human blood and contribute to the healing of the body. Lanolin, which at a human body temperature of 36-37 degrees is absorbed into the skin. The properties of lanolin are well known in cosmetology. Lanolin can penetrate deep into the skin, while not only providing the skin with sufficient fluid, but it also preventing its loss for a long time. Lanolin makes the skin soft and elastic, and significantly enhances the regeneration of new cells.
WOOL MASSAGES THE BODY AT THE CAPILLARY LEVEL! Wool fibers gently massage the nerve endings of the human body at the capillary level, which improves blood circulation and normalizes blood pressure throughout the body. So, wearing and using merino wool items helps rejuvenate.
Products made from merino wool are not subject to static electricity and are not dust collectors and do not cause allergic reactions, which is why they are recommended even for newborn babies.
Another unique property of sheep wool. Wool has the ability to self-clean, thanks to the scaly structure of the wool hair. The fibers repel contaminants in a unique way when they interact and rub against each other. This property ensures that items made from merino wool remain clean for a long time.
To put it succinctly, merino yarn has the following beneficial properties:
Medicinal – has rejuvenating, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, has a beneficial effect on muscles, joints, spine and respiratory system, and also stimulates blood circulation, helps relieve muscle tension, which is necessary for healthy sleep. Wearing clothes made from merino wool is especially recommended for people suffering from gout, bronchial diseases, arthrosis and arthritis, osteochondrosis and circulatory disorders. Products made from this material are recommended for people suffering from joint diseases, a tendency to swelling, and problems with the circulatory system. They are also good for athletes to help relieve muscle tension and pain. Air permeability - facilitates oxygen access to the skin, helps prevent the greenhouse effect and prevents the occurrence of colds.
Thermal conductivity - allows the body to breathe, neutralizes toxins and warms.
Hygroscopic - effectively absorbs moisture, keeping the body dry and the skin elastic.
WOOL NEUTRALIZES TOXIC SUBSTANCES. Already a century ago, the famous researcher of the properties of wool, Professor Yeager, established that wool can neutralize skin fumes. Wool is a natural, hydrophobic protein, i.e. Each hair is not wetted by water. This protein consists of amino acids that have the properties of neutralizing carbon dioxide with one part, and ammonia compounds with the other - toxic substances. Today's sleep hygiene research can confirm that sheep's wool, sheared from a living animal, neutralizes toxic substances.
Environmentally friendly - wool items are distinguished by excellent performance, they never harbor parasites, germs and bacteria do not accumulate and do not smell of sweat. Merino wool breathe. Air circulates easily among the fibers. This property, as well as the ability of lanolin to neutralize harmful substances, allows the wool items to maintain its original freshness and not absorb foreign odors.
Self-cleaning ability - Free circulation of oxygen helps such products to always be clean. Dead particles of the epidermis and other pollutants do not settle on them.
ECOLOGICAL ASPECT
Wool dates back thousands of years, but nevertheless today it is especially in fashion and relevant. In the context of acute environmental problems of the modern world, merino wool becomes the owner of another unsurpassed advantage. Unlike polyester and nylon, merino is a completely biodegradable material. As a 100% natural, renewable product, merino wool fibers provide food for a large number of microorganisms living in the earth's soil. As a result, a product made from merino wool, without the use of additional treatments, decomposes naturally in the natural environment in literally six months, which no synthetic material can boast of.
