Merino Wool

The idea of wearing merino next to your skin utilises a most available, renewable, natural resource to keep you warm and fresh for as long as you need to wear any one of the garments.  Anyone who has a merino garment wil tell you how wonderful it is to wear, all year round, and how reluctant they are to take it off at the end of the day.  

A merino base layer is a perfect companion for a possum-merino jumper on the coldest, windiest of days, in the woods, on the moors or up the mountain, or in the draftiest of houses with the heating switched down! 

KiwiKate has merino for both men and women and will look for merino for children during the course of this year.

KiwiKate's new supplier of excellent New Zealand merino is Earth Sea Sky.  Earth Sea Sky are a family firm, committed to quality, the outdoors, and New Zealand.  These people know their merino.  They are get-out-there, just-do-it outdoor people, with mountaineering origins.  Their merinos are second to none.  The colours just fabulous, and the styles are practical and gorgeous all at the same time.  Try these.  You won't be disappointed. 

Earth Sea Sky measures the quality of themerino they will use in microns (widths of fibre) as opposed to weight per square metre.  They believe this is the only true way to get a consistent, lasting product.
