Wool is a living material that adapts to your body temperature. In warm weather, moisture and body heat are absorbed by the wool and wicked away from the body. In colder temperatures, heat is retained thanks to the millions of microscopic air pockets that occur naturally in wool. Even when wet (it absorbs 30 per cent of its weight in moisture), wool keeps you warm. A nice bonus is that wool is naturally odour-resistant.

The wool used by Ivanhoe is sourced from Europe – genuine wool from real sheep. Lambswool is soft but also a delicate fabric; a blend containing 20 per cent polyamide makes it stronger, more durable and longer-lasting. A newer, even finer boiled lambswool blend comprising 80% lambswool, 18% polyamide and 2% Lycra is a carefully considered combination designed by professional garment makers. Fine and extra-fine merino wool is wonderfully soft and can be worn directly against the skin. The unique merino knit is well-balanced and designed for optimum comfort.

Ivanhoe of Sweden is a family-run business founded in 1946 in Gällstad, a district known as the knitting centre of Sweden. Several generations of experience and craftsmanship ensure a constant stream of new developments in the field of basic and functional clothing. Classic materials such as wool and cotton are always featured in the Ivanhoe collection. In addition, new blends, treatments and knitting and weaving techniques are continually emerging.

See the video below for advice on caring for your woollen garments. The garments do not need to be washed frequently. Simply hang the garment out in the fresh air for a while and it will quickly revive, feeling clean and fresh again. When washing, pay close attention to the care instructions in the side seam. Most Ivanhoe items can be machine-washed on the wool cycle at 30°C. If hand-washing, wash gently and rub softly.

Not only will your garment last longer if you treat it as described above, but you’ll also be helping the environment by airing your clothes more often and washing them less frequently.
