Organic wool cuffs cherry red (organic, mulesing-free) rib in a tube

97% wool (merino wool, kbt) / 3% elastane - organic jersey/mulesing free

Wool cuffs are ideal as a finish for all wool garments. Since wool does not absorb water, it is particularly important for outdoor and baby clothing that no cotton cuffs are placed on the ends. These get wet and cold and also need more care (=washed more often) than the rest of the woolen garment. A wool cuff, on the other hand, requires just as little care as the rest of the wool garment. It keeps you warm even when it's wet, doesn't feel clammy when it's slightly damp and can simply be brushed out when it's dirty. If there are bad smells (smoke, sweat, traces of urine), simply airing out the wool cuffs is enough. Our organic wool cuffs (kbt, 97% new wool) are mixed with 3% elastane for long-lasting elasticity and durability.

Wool is naturally self-cleaning and antibacterial. It absorbs moisture without feeling clammy and transports it outwards, away from the body. Merino new wool is very finely crimped, does not scratch and is wonderfully soft and fluffy.

It is optimal if the woolen clothing is simply aired out in damp weather (e.g. in the bathroom when showering). The water vapor that meets the fabric then automatically transports away smaller dirt particles and bad odours.

If the clothes are heavily soiled, they can be washed by hand or on the wool cycle of the washing machine at 30 degrees with wool detergent.

Since wool fibers are more sensitive when wet than when dry, it is recommended that woolen clothing be dried lying flat on a towel.

A lot of dirt can also be removed by tapping or brushing (e.g. with the miracle brush available in the shop).

The wool cuff can be sewn up just like conventional cotton cuffs. Since wool fibers are more stretchy than cotton fibers, the wool cuff also has more stretch than most cotton cuffs. So we recommend multiplying here by a lower factor (0.6 or 0.65) to determine the length of cuff needed, rather than the factors of 0.7 or 0.8 often recommended for cotton cuffs. It is also suitable as an edging strip for necklines or body ends.

Tip: Alternatively, wool and silk stripes can also be used here.

The raw wool for these cuffs comes from sheep from controlled organic animal husbandry - kbT - from Argentina. The cuff is produced in Germany.
