Where and how is your Strong Wool sourced?
Our Strong Wool is responsibly sourced from the renowned Cape Campbell farm located in the picturesque region of Marlborough, New Zealand. We are committed to ethical practices and ensure that our farmers are compensated fairly. By paying an ethical rate, we support the farmers’ dedication to producing high-quality Strong Wool, while also fostering sustainable farming practices.
How can I find the sizing for these products?
Sizing can be found on the product pages or you can find it here: Strong Wool Sizing Guide
Strong Wool is quite coarse, is this range?
Strong Wool is naturally coarse. It's this feature which makes it durable and hardwearing. And while it can feel a bit prickly at times, it won’t be as itchy as that old blanket you remember as a kid, thanks to an added merino ‘comfort’ layer that helps give a smooth feeling against the skin.
What colours are available?
At this time, we offer two colours; Storm Grey and All Black. We're always interested in hearing from people what colours they would like to see added to our range. Got something in mind? Email us at customer_support@smartmerino.com
