Wool: The Perfect Companion for Colder Months

With the arrival of autumn and winter, it's worth reaching for materials that not only provide a pleasant wrap but also effectively warm. Wool remains a proven choice for the coldest days – both classic wool and the softer merino or luxurious cashmere.

Sheep's wool, merino, or cashmere – what they have in common and what makes them different

Sheep's wool

This is the basic natural fiber obtained by shearing sheep. Sheep's wool is warm, wicks away moisture perfectly, and helps maintain thermal comfort.

Merino wool

Obtained from Merino sheep, it is one of the softest types of wool. Thanks to its exceptionally thin fibers, it doesn't "itch" and is incredibly soft to the touch. It's an ideal choice for those who appreciate delicate fabrics with excellent insulating properties.

Cashmere

Cashmere, obtained from the undercoat of cashmere goats, is synonymous with luxury. Lightweight, incredibly soft, and pleasant to the skin, this material provides exceptional comfort and warmth. When combined with merino wool, it creates materials with above-average durability and outstanding performance properties.

Benefits or why wool is really worth it

Wool is a material with natural thermoregulatory properties. It provides warmth in winter without causing overheating, and at the same time effectively wicks away moisture. Additionally, it doesn't absorb odors and has natural antibacterial properties, which reduces the need for frequent washing and thus conserves water. With proper care, it stays like new for a long time.

Responsible production of Lejaan throws

At Lejaan, you will find throws made from both sheep's wool and merino combined with cashmere. All the wool we use comes from New Zealand – a country renowned for its high standards of sustainable and ethical production.

Wool is a renewable resource, obtained through regular shearing of sheep and goats, without harm to the animals. Their farming does not require the use of chemicals, so the entire process, from shearing to fiber processing, has a minimal impact on the natural environment. Wool products are therefore not only functional and durable, but also planet-friendly, which is one of the key aspects of Lejaan's philosophy.
