Made in New Zealand

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.

70% Super-fine Merino wool, 20% Possum fur, 10% Mulberry silk

Firstly - does it need washing?

We use natural fibres which naturally are anti-odour (thanks to their antibacterial properties) and are breathable. Therefore we find that our garments only need to be washed every so often. Letting you garment breath in the open air is all that it may need.

However, if it does need a freshen up here's how:

Machine wash in warm water (turn garment inside out and even better, in a garment bag), with wool/delicate detergent, on a wool cycle, lay flat to dry. We also advise you wash similar garments together (i.e. delicates together, not with towels!)

Our garments are pre-shrunk making them less susceptible to shrinking in the wash, however that being said generally avoid prolonged heat exposure either through hot water or tumble drying.

Perfect for baby in winter

I have one of this for my girl, and it works really good throughout the winter. The most important thing is that my girl does not feel itchy and uncomfortable when she wears it even next to the skin, while some other materials do sometimes. I think it is because of the possum fibre and silk in the garment.

As it does not smell at all, I do not need to wash it every day, which is quite annoying if I have to. While it can keep warm most of the time itself, it can also act as a mid-layer, so I can put another jacket on top of it if there is a rainy and windy day. It is quite a flexible design that I can choose how to wear.

One thing that need to be aware of is when my girl is eating, sometimes the food may stick on it. Although I think it's not a very big issue, make sure the kid has a little baby bib when eating, as you would not want a hundred dollars sweater get dirty easily.
