Why does my wool sweater sting? I'm allergic?

How many times have you bought a wool sweater that you really liked and that fit you perfectly, but after a few minutes it started to itch and sting? 

Result? You no longer wore the sweater relegating it to a corner of the wardrobe or even threw it away even thinking you were allergic to wool. 

It’s time to find out the truth behind this common dilemma. Contrary to popular belief, you may not be allergic to wool itself. A recent study has uncovered the underlying reasons behind these uncomfortable sensations and paved the way for more comfortable solutions.

What makes wool itch?

Itching caused by woolen clothes is due to the thick fibers protruding from the fabric or the dyes used when dyeing the yarns. These coarse fibers, which can be either synthetic such as nylon or wool fibers with a very large diameter, can irritate the skin, causing discomfort. But here's where the interesting twist comes in.

Extrafine Merino Wool: A Comfortable Solution

Extrafine merino wool could be the answer to your itchy problems. Thanks to its ultra-thin diameter, this variety of wool is known for its incredible softness. Its fine fibers bend easily and do not cause itching or irritation when in contact with the skin. So if you've relegated your wool to the back burner due to hassle, it might be time to give extra-fine merino wool a chance.

Benefits for Sensitive Skin

But there's more. The study also found that extrafine merino wool may be particularly beneficial for people with sensitive skin or eczema. Worn in direct contact with the skin, this wool helps stabilize moisture and temperature between the fabric and the skin.
