FAQ
Which knit cap is warmer, the Style 98 or the Style 99?
The Style 98 Cuff Cap is knit with "mid-weight" yarns, while the Style 99 Skull
Cap is knit with "heavyweight" yarns, so you might think that the Style 99 Skull
Cap is warmer. However, the Style 98 Cuff Cap has two layers of mid-weight yarns
instead of just one, so overall, it is at least as warm as the Style 99 Skull
Cap, if not warmer.
What do you mean when you say "100% Merino virgin wool?"
100% virgin wool is "virgin" because it comes straight from the sheep, not
trimmings or leftovers recycled from the processing of other wool fabrics.
This allows us to use the longest fibers to weave our fabrics, which is
important because longer fibers are inherently stronger than shorter fibers.
This makes it unnecessary for us to blend synthetic fibers such as nylon or
polyester into our wool to make it stronger.
Thus, we believe our 100% virgin wool is more resilient and long lasting than
wool blends, and you get the full benefit of the wool fibers working for you.
Merino wool is known in the trade for its extra-long, extra-fine fibers that
spin into a very strong, yet very soft yarn that many people can wear against
their skin.
What is the importance of worsted yarns?
Worsted wool yarns are twisted as they are spun, to create a tighter, more
durable and long-lasting material. Many people find worsted wool to be more
comfortable against their skin, because worsted fabrics have a smooth surface.
Is your Merino wool water repellent?
Wool is naturally water repellent, and more importantly, it will retain heat
even when wet. 100% virgin wool will absorb up to 30% of its own weight in
moisture without becoming damp or clammy. On top of that, our socks, gloves, and
long johns have a worsted finish, which means that the surface has even greater
capacity to turn away moisture.
How noisy is wool in the woods?
Wool is very quiet: It doesn`t make noise as you walk through brush or ground
cover, which is greatly valued by hunters in particular.
