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.
"Five stars, although I unfortunately, with much sorrow and tears, had to send these back. They run so very small, in my opinion, for older children. I'm not sure about younger. I bought two of the largest size, for a boy 12 years old and a girl 14 years old. But neither can comfortably wear this because it just runs so small for this age children. It is very short for an older child, quite small all over, unlike as seen worn by the children in the pictures. Even the hood wasn't able to be worn because the whole hoody rides upwards becoming tout, and then exposing the belly. But oh how I love the material, merino wool crepe! It is delightful! I wish they made these for adults! I would so much like to buy three of these, a proper fit for my children and for myself! A size that would look on us like in the pictures. But the largest size doesn't look anything like that on a 12 and a 14 year old, unfortunately, despite the size saying "to age 14/164cm". Otherwise, very, very lovely hoody."
