Wool: The perfect companion for the colder months

With the arrival of autumn and winter, it's time to reach for materials that not only offer a pleasant embrace but also effectively warm you up. A proven choice that can handle even the coldest months is wool, including classic wool, fine merino, or luxurious cashmere.

Sheep's wool, merino, or cashmere – what connects and distinguishes them

Sheep's wool

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

Merino wool

Merino wool, obtained from the Merino sheep breed, is one of the finest wools. Thanks to its thinner fibers, it is less itchy and exceptionally soft to the touch. It is ideal for those who prefer fine textiles with excellent insulating properties.

Cashmere

Cashmere, obtained from the undercoat of cashmere goats, is synonymous with luxury. It is a light, incredibly soft material that provides a perfect feeling of comfort and warmth. In combination with merino wool, it also guarantees exceptional comfort supplemented by long durability.

Benefits or why wool really pays off

Wool is a natural thermoregulating material. In winter, it warms without causing overheating and can effectively wick away moisture. In addition, it is odor-resistant and has natural antibacterial properties, which reduces the need for frequent washing and water consumption. With proper care, it will last many years like new.

Responsible production of Lejaan throws

At Lejaan, you will find throws that use both sheep's and merino wool in combination with cashmere. All our wool comes from New Zealand – a country boasting high standards in sustainability and environmental friendliness.

Wool is also a renewable resource obtained by regular shearing of sheep or goats without causing harm to the animals. Chemicals are not necessary for their breeding, which means that the entire process from shearing to fiber processing leaves a minimal ecological footprint. Wool products are thus not only functional but also gentle on the planet, which is key for us at Lejaan.
