Merinosilk

Merinosilk

Kapeka Merinosilk knitwear is made in New Zealand from a special 100% natural blend. Our superior blend with a golden ratio of natural fibres aims to provide luxurious handle, ultimate warmth and a garment that lasts. Compared to other materials, Merinosilk is 55% warmer than 100% merino and 35% warmer than 100% cashmere.

70% NZ Super-Fine (17 micron) Merino wool

Only 2% of the merino sheep in NZ produce 17 micron wool. Wool fibres trap air to reduce heat loss yet each fibre can breathe to prevent overheating.

20% NZ Possum fur

The unique hollow core of the fibres traps warmth without being heavy - like bamboo. The only other animal similar to this is the polar bear, arctic fox and alpaca.

10% Mulberry silk

Soft against the skin, resists against tension, hypoallergenic qualities - stronger than steel and can stretch to double its length.
