Is merino wool itchy?

Merino is finer than standard wool, so most wearers find it comfortable over a shirt or on bare skin. Very sensitive skin may still notice it.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash or use a wool cycle in cold water, then dry flat. Heat and tumble drying cause shrinkage and shape loss.

It is a lightweight fine knit, so it works as a mid layer or on its own in mild weather. In cold wind you will want something over it.

Fine-gauge wool can pill at friction points like underarms and cuffs. A fabric comb removes the pills, and washing inside out helps.

Merino is less soft but more durable and easier to care for. Cashmere feels softer but pills and wears faster.

Yes. Wool resists odor and regulates temperature, so it can be worn several times between washes and packs thin.
