Five good reasons to wear wool in the summer

Everyone knows that wool is the most essential winter wardrobe item. But did you know that summer is also high season for wool? Here are five good reasons to wear wool in the summer.

1. Super-soft

Devold's summer wool in ultra-fine Merino quality is guaranteed chlorine-free and soft on the skin.

2. Temperature regulating

Merino wool has a cooling effect in hot weather and feels warm against the skin if the temperature drops.

3. Odourless

Wool ensures a healthy microclimate for the skin, keeping bacteria away, so that woollen garments do not retain odours. Wool needs far less washing than synthetic materials, which makes it the natural choice for holidays in the Norwegian countryside without a washing machine.

4. UV protection

Merino wool absorbs UV rays and thus gives the skin a layer of protection from the sun.

5. Environmentally friendly

Wool is naturally degradable. It also has self-cleaning properties, so that reduced washing helps to protect the environment.

Good for you and good for the environment.

Turns around the idea that wool is uncomfortable

You may remember the old wool sweater from your years as a toddler when winter was a dreaded time because of all the uncomfortable clothes you had to put on. Fortunately, much has happened with wool products since then.

A choice for nature

Our oceans are littered with billions of particles of plastic. Though they aren’t usually thrown away as casually as plastic bottles or carrier bags, they’re just as harmful to the environment. We hardly ever give a moment’s thought to our clothes breaking down because we can’t see the process with the naked eye.
