Cleaning & Spinning the Wool

Our Merino wool story begins with fibers sourced from Australia, recognized globally for producing some of the finest Merino wool. Australian Merino sheep yield exceptionally soft, fine fibers prized for their natural warmth and breathability, making the raw material ideal for premium women's wool clothing.

Before any weaving or production begins, the raw fleece is meticulously cleaned in a process designed to remove dirt, grease, and impurities yet without stripping away the natural lanolin oils that give wool its unique softness and pliability. This balance is key: the lanolin ensures that the wool remains supple and moisture-resistant, essential attributes for breathable and comfortable clothing.

Following cleaning, expert technicians spin the wool into yarns with precision, preserving the natural crimps in each fiber. These crimps trap air, creating insulating pockets that provide temperature regulation, keeping you comfortably warm in winter and cool during indoor summer wear. The care taken here guarantees the yarn quality necessary to produce long-lasting Merino wool garments with beautiful drape and resilience.

Finishing the Wool

Once spun, the yarns undergo finishing treatments designed to enhance the wool’s inherent performance without diminishing its softness. The finishing preserves the natural lanolin coating, which not only provides water resistance but also delivers odor control and moisture-wicking capabilities important for indoor comfort and longevity.

Rather than heavily processing the wool, our finishing approach respects the fiber's natural structure and benefits. This delicate balance ensures our fabric retains its superior breathability and softness, enabling women to wear Samaya Merino clothing all day without discomfort, irritation, or persistent odors.

This finishing phase also contributes to the fabric’s sophisticated texture, making it a joy to wear next to the skin, perfect for sensitive or mature skin types who appreciate gentle, hypoallergenic fibers.

Weaving the Fabric

The spun and finished yarns are woven on modern power looms, a process that marries traditional textile craftsmanship with technological precision. Power looms allow the production of fabric with uniform density and construction quality, offering both strength and softness.

This step is critical: the balance of thread count and fabric density must allow for durability while maintaining lightweight breathability. The resulting textile is stable enough for frequent wear and layering, yet soft enough to feel gentle on the skin.

The quality weaving process is the foundation of many beloved Samaya Merino garments, from our versatile kimono jackets to elegant scarves that drape beautifully while adapting to various seasons and climates.

Boiling the Fabric

What truly differentiates Samaya Merino wool clothing is our signature boiling process. After weaving, the fabric undergoes a slow, careful boiling in industrial-sized boilers. This traditional yet specialized treatment softens the fibers, compacts the material, and refines the texture without compromising flexibility or breathability.

Unlike many boiled wool fabrics on the market, which may feel stiff or itchy, Samaya’s boiled Merino wool emerges luxuriously soft, lightweight, warm, and importantly, non-itchy. The boiled treatment enhances the fabric’s ability to regulate temperature keeping you warm on cold days and comfortably cool indoors during warmer months.

This boiling process also maintains the wool’s natural moisture-wicking power, so wearers enjoy consistent freshness and dryness during long days at home or casual outdoor occasions. This unique fabric quality embodies the Fit Samaya promise of slow fashion combined with natural performance.

Do You Have Sensitive Skin?

For many women, the word “wool” can conjure images of scratchy, uncomfortable textures. Samaya Merino answers those concerns by crafting boiled wool garments with ultra-fine Merino fibers and a thorough softening process.

Because of the fineness of Australian Merino wool and the meticulous boiling treatment, the resulting fabric is exceptionally gentle, making it suitable for sensitive or mature skin. This hypoallergenic quality means you can indulge in luxurious warmth without irritation, itching, or discomfort.

These thoughtful features open up opportunities to enjoy merino wool clothing daily, whether lounging indoors or stepping out in style, without the fear of irritation that often accompanies traditional wool products.

Caring for Your Boiled Merino Wool Garments

Keeping your Samaya Merino garments soft, beautiful, and long-lasting is as simple as following a few essential care steps aligned with the delicate nature of boiled Merino wool:

• Always dry-clean or hand wash using a mild detergent. Harsh chemicals strip the natural oils essential for softness and durability.

• Never use a tumble dryer. Heat damages the wool fibers and causes irreversible shrinkage.

• Lay your garments flat to dry. This practice preserves the shape and prevents stretching that hanging or wringing would cause.

By adhering to these guidelines, you preserve the garment's luxurious handfeel, structural integrity, and breathability throughout many wears and washes.

Samaya Merino garments also arrive with thoughtfully designed linen storage bags, promoting sustainable storage practices that protect your investment and allow the fabric to breathe between wears.
