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.
"Such a snug item. I wear it over a pair of leisure trousers or leggings where it secures the trousers right up and keeps you extremely neat and warm. The wool is very close knit, attractive colour of warm red and has not rquired washing at all."

I'd recommend this to a friend.
"Love this skirt - just as I hoped I would from the reviews and previous experience of the brand (although children's wear) Ordered the medium and was worried it would be too big as I usually take about a size 10. However it was perfect."

"One of those pieces of clothing you put on and then find you’ve worn it all week. Comfy, warm, easy to wear, it has slotted straight into my favourites along with the Disana wool fleece jacket. Simple and lovely."
This was washed... I will hand wash it
"fantastic colour, quality, unparallelled warm, smart, indoors outdoors, dressy, casual,cute, modern style and unusual. not the sort of item you could ever buy ion the British high Street. Well done to ethical german producers."
"So versatile, super warm. Planning to buy another colour!"
This was washed... Hand wash - but rarely needs it as the wool throws off dirt.
