Why does the wool sweater itch? Am I 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 prick you? 

Result? You never wore the sweater again, relegating it to a corner of the wardrobe or even throwing it away thinking you might be allergic to wool. 

It's time to discover the truth behind this common dilemma. Contrary to what one might think, you might not be allergic to the wool itself. A recent study revealed the hidden reasons behind these annoying sensations and paved the way for more comfortable solutions.

What makes wool itch?

The itch caused by wool garments is due to the thick fibers protruding from the fabric or the dyes used during yarn dyeing. These coarse fibers, which can be either synthetic like nylon or wool fibers with a very large diameter, can irritate the skin, causing uncomfortable discomfort. But here is where the interesting breakthrough comes in.

Extrafine Merino Wool: A Comfortable Solution

Extrafine merino wool could be the answer to your itching problems. Thanks to its ultra-fine 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 have relegated your wool to oblivion because of discomfort, it might be time to give extrafine merino wool a chance.

Benefits for Sensitive Skin

But there is more. The study also found that extrafine merino wool can 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.
