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!

beneficial material for upcycled clothing, offering durability, comfort,
natural fibre sustainability and versatility.
