Wool: The Perfect Companion for the Cold Months

With the arrival of autumn and winter, it is time to reach for materials that not only wrap you pleasantly but also keep you effectively warm. Wool - whether classic, fine merino or luxurious cashmere - is a tried and trusted choice that handles even the coldest months.

Sheep's wool, merino or cashmere - what connects and distinguishes them

Sheep's wool

It is the basic natural fibre obtained by shearing sheep. Sheep's wool is naturally warming, wicks moisture and at the same time maintains thermal comfort.

Merino wool

Merino wool, obtained from Merino sheep, is among the finest wools. Thanks to its thinner fibres, it scratches less and is exceptionally soft to the touch. It becomes ideal for those who prefer fine textiles with excellent insulating properties.

Cashmere

Cashmere, obtained from the undercoat of cashmere goats, is a synonym for luxury. It is a lightweight, incredibly fine material that provides a perfect feeling of comfort and warmth. In combination with merino wool, it also guarantees exceptional comfort complemented by long durability.

The advantages, or why wool is truly worth it

Wool is a natural thermoregulating material. In winter it warms without causing overheating, and can wick moisture away effectively. It is also odour-resistant and has natural antibacterial properties, which reduces the need for frequent washing and water consumption. With proper care it will look like new for many years.

Responsible production of Lejaan throws

At Lejaan you will find throws that use both sheep's and merino wool combined with cashmere. All our wool comes from New Zealand - a country proud of its high standards in the area of sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Wool is, among other things, a renewable resource, obtained by regularly shearing sheep or goats without causing any harm to the animals. Their rearing does not require the use of chemicals, which means the whole process from shearing to processing the fibres leaves a minimal ecological footprint. Wool products are therefore not only functional but also kind to the planet, which is central to us at Lejaan.
