Wool crepe is a warm, durable fabric which is much more stretchy than boiled wool, and a little finer.
All certified organic wool comes from sheep which have been farmed organically and with high animal welfare standards. The organic status refers to all stages of the manufaturing process from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing up to labelling in order to provide a credible assurance to the end consumer.
Wool (and thus Merino wool) has many benefits including being anti-bacterial and allowing the body to regulate its own temperature. See the blog for more details.
Reiff recommends hand washing in cold water that is less than 10oc.
Use a detergent designed for wool which protects and repenishes wool's natural oils as sold in our fabric care category here.
To hand-wash your organic Merino wool, dilute your wool detergent in a bowl of cold water.
Add your woollens to the bowl, gently stirring and squeezing the detergent through. Rinse using cold water
To dry, gently squeeze water out and wrap your wool clothes in a towel to remove the excess water. Air-dry naturally avoiding direct heat. So, hanging on a drying rack over the bath is good, or on a clothes horse.
"Perfect winter skirt. Comfortable, good length and fab colour ( turquoise)."
This was washed... not needed washing yet
This was worn by... Me. 66!
Sizing: Feels true to size
I'd recommend this to a friend.
"Comfortable, warm and stylish its a pleasure to wear with woolly tights and short boots. It teams well with your boiled wool tank top"
This was worn by... Me!
I wouldn't really recommend this to a friend.
"Bought a medium, but at 5’7” and 9 stone it was too big. It’s a great skirt and I may just order a small. If it wasn’t during lockdown I would have returned it."
This was worn by... Me
Sizing: Too big
"It is very comfy, looks pretty, is warm and cosy. I wore it so often after buying it that I decided to purchase a second one in a different colour."
This was worn by... me
"I wear this lovely skirt under another, longer, wool skirt. I work long hours in a cold, damp workshop and have discovered that the best way of keeping warm is by wearing two skirts, and this one works beautifully as a warm underskirt! This is probably not what you were expecting in a review, but I have worn it every day since I bought it!"
This was washed... Wool really doesn't need washing much. I'll probably wash it in a year's time!
"These skirts are very comfortable and the red and turquoise colours are fun. They needed steaming to get rid of very determined folds from being packed up probably for a long time, which made them stick out oddly, but they now sit well. If only they had pockets......."
