Which wool underwear suits you?
That primarily depends on how much warmth you are looking for and how sensitive your skin is. Pure wool underwear generally provides a bit more warmth. A combination of 70% organic merino wool and 30% silk feels smoother and lighter, making it very suitable for year-round wear. For very sensitive skin, we also offer underwear made from 100% silk.
-
For daily use: choose a thin camisole, T-shirt, or long-sleeve top made of wool-silk.
-
For cold days: combine a wool top layer with women's wool leggings.
-
For sensitive skin: wool-silk or pure silk usually feels the smoothest.
-
For outdoors, hiking, or cycling: choose a snug-fitting base layer that wicks away moisture without feeling clammy.
From wool camisoles to leggings
You can also view our women's collection by style. Choose from women's wool camisoles, wool-silk T-shirts, wool long-sleeve tops, and wool leggings. This way, you don't have to search through the entire collection if you already have a good idea of what you need.
Organic merino wool and silk
Merino wool helps regulate your body temperature and can absorb a lot of moisture without feeling wet or cold. Silk makes the fabric more supple and smoother. This makes wool-silk underwear comfortable under regular clothing, but also as sleepwear or during menopause, when your temperature can fluctuate significantly.
Our collection includes brands such as Engel Natur, Hocosa, Living Crafts, Alkena, and Lanius. We prioritize natural materials, ethical sourcing, and long-lasting garments. Engel Natur is one of our biggest specialties: Natur-el features an extensive Engel collection for women and men.

Frequently asked questions about women's wool underwear
Does wool underwear itch?
Fine merino wool itches much less than coarse wool. If you are very sensitive, wool-silk is often the most comfortable first choice.
Can I wear wool-silk underwear all year round?
Yes. Wool and silk help regulate your temperature. A thin quality can therefore also be comfortable in the spring and summer.
How often should I wash wool underwear?
Wool needs to be washed less often than cotton. Air it out after wearing and only wash it when necessary, using a suitable wool detergent on a wool cycle.
