How Merino wool is beneficial for upcycled clothing?

 

Upcycled clothing refers to clothing items that have been made from existing materials or garments rather than using new fabric or textiles. The process of upcycling involves taking old or discarded clothing items and transforming them into new and fashionable pieces. This can involve repurposing the fabric or cutting and combining different garments to create a new design.

Heke design is one of the few brands using post consumer Merino wool.

Merino is a high-quality, natural fiber, prized for its softness, warmth, and breathability. One of the key advantages of merino wool is its ability to retain heat even when wet, which makes it an ideal choice for jumpers that may be worn in wet or damp conditions. Additionally, the wool is naturally odor-resistant, which means that merino jumpers can be worn multiple times before washing.

. This quality fibre is mostly produced in New Zealand and Australia from merino sheep.

 Heke Design creates monochromatic patchwork unisex jumpers. These sweaters are available in varied colors and sizes, even your own custom colour combo!
