The benefits of merino silk knitwear
The long fibre length of silk gives this merino blend a smooth, luxurious finish which feels soft and comfortable and adds to the fabric’s strength. It is also breathable and naturally water-repellent, with the ability to wick moisture away from your skin, leaving you cool and dry.
