This super soft Geelong merino wool sweater comes in a loose fit with open hems, a cross over hood and thumb holes in a longline, relaxed fit.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Germanic and Norse peoples have been using wool to create garments for thousands of years and it still represents one of the best fabrics around. As always: nature got it right.<\/p>
<\/p>
We named this item after the village Staithes in Yorkshire with its strong Norse fishing links. Wool works to regulate your body temperature, keeping you warm when you need it but allowing your body to breath to reduce perspiration. This yarn is surprisingly durable for its softness; meaning that taken care of properly it should last for decades.<\/p>
<\/p>
For best endurance, avoid washing, as wool is antimicrobial, simply hang it outside in a good breeze to freshen it up.<\/p>
<\/p>
100% Geelong Merino Wool<\/p>
Relaxed, longline fit<\/p>
Made for wanderers & warriors.<\/p>","metaTitle":"Staithes Merino Wool Hoodie | Descended from Odin","metaDescription":"This super soft sweater comes in a loose fit with open hems' a cross over hood and thumb holes.
