When worn next to the skin, super fine Merino wool

When worn next to the skin, super fine Merino wool works as a dynamic buffer, helping to stabilise the humidity levels and temperature of the micro-climate between the fabric and the skin.

Research has demonstrated that wearing superfine Merino wool next to the skin can ease the symptoms of eczema or atopic dermatitis.

It appears super fine Merino wool acts like a second skin for people whose ‘first’ skin is too dry.

Three dermatology trials, all published in leading journals, have shown that infant, adolescent and adult eczema sufferers have reported reduced symptoms when wearing superfine Merino wool garments next to the skin.

In these studies, participants benefitted from wearing superfine Merino wool garments with a mean fibre diameter ≤17.5 mm for at least 6 hours/day for 6 weeks on the severity and symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis.

Hi, I'm Kamry Keese and I work for Keese Internati

Hi, I'm Kamry Keese and I work for Keese International, located in the heart of Texas.
In my role, I design and implement marketing initiatives.
As you can see here, I'm currently creating a Keese International hoodie to give to some of our customers.
I also assist with grading and bidding on wool, setting up blends for scouring and cultivating relationships with new and existing customers.
Last year, I participated in the young professional programme at the IWTO in Kyoto, Japan, and
it enabled me to meet new people, build customer relationships, acquire new business, and learn the latest trends and technology in the industry.
I love wool because it helps me do the things that I love.
For example, riding my motorcycle, it's the best thing to wear when next to skin because it's comfortable, cool and helps me stay temperature regulated.
