Soft wool-silk women's camisole for every season
This is one of those camisoles that makes you wonder after wearing it a few times: why didn't I have this sooner? The ENGEL NATUR wool-silk camisole for women in NATURAL is made from 70% organic wool and 30% silk. It feels soft and light, fits nicely around your body, and provides exactly that extra layer that can make you so happy on cold or changeable days.
You can wear it under a sweater, blouse, or dress, but also as a sleep camisole or an airy top under a cardigan. The material is thin enough to be barely visible under your clothes and long enough to stay tucked into your trousers or skirt. So, no bare lower back when you sit down or bend over. Sometimes happiness is just found in very practical things.
Why wool and silk are such a great combination
Wool and silk complement each other beautifully. The organic wool helps regulate your body temperature and can absorb moisture without feeling clammy. Silk makes the fabric smoother, more supple, and lighter. As a result, wool-silk generally feels softer than 100% wool and is very comfortable to wear directly against the skin.
Wool-silk is slightly less warm than a comparable 100% wool camisole. This is exactly what makes this model so versatile. In winter, you can use it as a thin base layer, while it is also very comfortable to wear during spring, autumn, and cooler summer days. Do you get hot easily, do you sweat quickly, or do you have to deal with changing temperatures during menopause? Then a breathable wool-silk camisole can feel much more comfortable than a synthetic one that keeps moisture against your skin.
Most people find this fine wool-silk quality soft. However, sensitivity to wool remains personal. Do you have very sensitive skin or are you not sure whether wool is comfortable for you? Then, of course, you are welcome to come and feel the camisole and try it on in our shop.

Fit and sizing advice from ENGEL NATUR
The women's camisoles from ENGEL NATUR fit long and quite slim. The fabric fits smoothly around the body and therefore does not create a thick or bulky layer under your clothes. The length is especially nice if you want to wear the camisole tucked into your trousers or skirt.
Are you hesitating between two sizes? Usually, choose the larger size. We also recommend this if you have a fuller bust. This prevents the camisole from being too tight under your armpits or around your chest.

NATURAL: a calm basic under every outfit
NATURAL is a soft, light color that can easily be worn under all kinds of clothing. This makes the camisole an ideal basic if you are looking for something practical and versatile. No visible edges under a light-colored blouse and no color you have to build a whole outfit around in the morning.

Organic wool and IVN BEST certification
This women's camisole is IVN BEST-certified. This is a strict textile certification that not only looks at the organic fibers used but also sets requirements for the further processing of the material.
Of course, even organic and certified textiles have an impact. The sustainable value of this camisole lies in the carefully chosen materials, the timeless design, and the fact that you can wear it very often. And precisely because wool-silk usually does not need to be washed after every wear, you also save quite a lot of unnecessary washing.
How to care for your wool-silk camisole
Wool-silk often stays fresh for a surprisingly long time. After wearing, hang the camisole out overnight near an open window or in the bathroom. In many cases, that is enough and it can then go straight back into your wardrobe.
Does it need to be washed after all? Use the wool cycle at a maximum of 30 degrees and choose a low spin speed. A regular delicate or hand-wash cycle is not automatically suitable for wool: the drum may move too much. Use a mild wool detergent with lanolin, such as our own LANALICIOUS wool-silk detergent.
- Wash only when airing out is no longer sufficient
- Use the wool cycle at a maximum of 30 degrees
- Wash with a suitable wool detergent with lanolin
- Do not wring, scrub, or spin at high speeds
- Gently reshape the camisole after washing
- Let it dry flat on a towel
- Do not put in the dryer or place on a radiator
Is this the right wool camisole for you?
This wool-silk camisole is a particularly good choice if you are looking for a soft, thin, and versatile base layer. If you are looking for maximum warmth, a 100% wool model will likely suit you better. In our guide to choosing wool underwear, we compare the materials and models without turning it into a complex math exam.
