Natural Properties of Merino Wool
Temperature Regulation
Merino wool is nature’s own thermostat. Unlike regular wool, it provides excellent insulation in cold weather and remains breathable in warmer conditions. Its fibers trap heat when it’s cold and release it as the temperature rises, making it suitable for any season.
Moisture-Wicking and Odor Resistance
Merino can intelligently absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp, keeping your skin dry. Its natural antibacterial properties prevent odor build-up, making it perfect for everyday wear or active lifestyles. It gradually evaporates moisture from the material and odor molecules are released upon washing.
Lightweight and Soft
Unlike traditional wool, merino fibers are finer, resulting in a softer itch-free texture. This makes it ideal for winter accessories like scarves and hats that are worn close to skin. Merino wool is also suitable for people with sensitive skin.
Durability and Longevity
Merino wool is incredibly resilient. Its elasticity allows it to retain shape over time, even with frequent use, ensuring a lasting quality. Colorful Standard uses long-lasting environmentally friendly dyes, that will not fade over time.
Sustainability and Biodegradability
Colorful Standard uses recycled merino fibers of wool sweaters, certified by the Global Recycled Standard (GRS). Recycling reducing waste and conserves resources. As a natural fiber, merino wool is biodegradable, leaving a smaller ecological footprint compared to synthetic materials.

Merino wool’s sustainable and functional properties make it a superior, eco-conscious alternative.
