Is merino wool itchy?

Fine merino like this is generally soft against the skin and far less itchy than coarser wool. Most buyers report no irritation.

How should I wash it?

Use a gentle or wool cycle with cool water and lay it flat to dry. Avoid hot water and tumble drying, which can shrink and felt the wool.

It has a roomy, boxy cut with a slight crop, so it sits looser through the body and shorter in length than a standard fitted tee.

Yes. Merino resists odor and breathes well, so it can be worn several times between washes, which suits light packing.

Merino regulates temperature and wicks moisture, so it stays comfortable in warmth. It is warmer than thin cotton in cold weather too.

Fine merino can pill where it rubs, such as under bag straps. Washing it inside out and avoiding friction helps.
