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
35% warmer than 100% cashmere
How are Merinosilk garments made?
Merinosilk garments are knitted using whole garment technology. This means Kapeka garments are knitted in a single process on one machine. Bulky, thick seams are minimised allowing a better fit and maximum comfort. By using whole garment technology, no fabric is cut which avoids wear and tear, prolonging the life of a garment. They are pre-shrunk, minimising the risk of shrinkage. Our Merinosilk garments are mostly seamless, very durable, and super easy to machine wash.
