Merino wool is special! It comes from merino sheep in Australia and New Zealand. This wool is naturally temperature-regulating, keeping you comfortable in both hot summers and cold winters. It's also moisture-wicking, drawing sweat away from your skin to keep the fabric dry and prevent odour-causing bacteria.

Coolmax is a engineered textile, patented by DuPont (now Invista) in 1986, designed to increase breathability and wick moisture. It is made from polyester fibres and is often mixed with other materials like cotton, spandex and wool to make athletic or casual apparel that keeps it's wearer dry and comfortable. 

Instead of yarn scraps and fabric by products going to the landfill, they are shredded into a fibre and spun back into a yarn which we can use to make socks. The yarn scraps are sorted by colour so they do not have to be re-dyed.
