Merino Wool & Sustainability
Why choose Merino wool?
Merino wool is a natural fibre valued for its softness, breathability, and temperature regulation. It offers a refined alternative to synthetic materials and is designed for comfort, performance, and longevity in everyday wear.
Is Merino wool suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Fine Merino wool fibres are softer than traditional wool and are suitable for many people with sensitive skin.
Is Merino wool good for temperature regulation?
Yes. Merino wool naturally regulates body temperature, keeping you warm in cooler conditions and breathable in milder weather. Merino wool is particularly beneficial for managing temperature fluctuations, making it well suited to women experiencing peri-menopause and menopause.
Is Merino wool a natural alternative to synthetic fibres?
Yes. Merino wool is a natural fibre and an alternative to petroleum-based synthetic fabrics. It offers breathability and performance without relying on plastic fibres.
Why does Vanessa Bell use Merino wool?
Vanessa Bell uses Merino wool to combine luxury, natural performance, and durability. It aligns with the brand’s commitment to quality, sustainability, and creating garments designed to last.

My knit has stretched or shrunk. What should I do?
Merino knitwear can change shape if exposed to heat or incorrect washing. Please contact us for care guidance and refer to your garment label for correct washing instructions.
How do I care for my Merino knitwear?
We recommend gentle cold washing and laying flat to dry in the shade. Avoid heat and agitation to preserve the structure and longevity of your garment.
How do I protect my knitwear from moths?
Store garments with cedarwood, Huon pine, or lavender sachets. Ensure garments are clean and stored in a dry environment.
My knit has pulls or pilling. What should I do?
Natural fibres may develop light pilling over time. Use a wool comb to gently remove pills. Do not cut loose threads. Contact us for repair advice if needed.
