Wool-silk women's camisole in the warm color WALNUT
Are you looking for a soft wool camisole that you can wear almost all year round and that doesn't immediately scream: thermal underwear? Then this ENGEL NATUR wool-silk camisole for women in WALNUT is a wonderful basic. It is made of 70% organic wool and 30% silk, feels light and supple, and fits your body beautifully without feeling bulky.
WALNUT is a warm, greyish brown tone that sits somewhere between taupe, grey, and soft olive. A calm color, but certainly not boring. It combines easily with black, denim, and other earth tones and is also beautiful enough to show off under an open blouse or cardigan.
Why wool and silk are so comfortable to wear
The organic wool helps regulate your body temperature and can absorb moisture without feeling clammy. The silk makes the material smoother, lighter, and more supple. Together they form a thin fabric that fits comfortably and is very suitable for wearing directly on the skin.
Compared to a 100% wool camisole, wool-silk is generally slightly less warm. This is not a disadvantage, but rather the reason why many people wear this quality so often. In winter, it is a comfortable base layer under a sweater or dress. During spring, autumn, and cooler summer days, you can also wear it under a blouse or cardigan. And at night? It’s also a blissful camisole, especially if you find regular cotton nightwear tends to feel clammy.
Do you get cold easily, sweat quickly, or deal with fluctuating temperatures during menopause? Then wool-silk can be very pleasant. It doesn't prevent hot flashes or sweating, of course, but the material generally handles moisture and temperature differences better than many synthetic fabrics.

Long and narrow: how the women's camisole fits
The wool-silk camisoles from ENGEL NATUR fit long and quite narrow. The camisole fits smoothly and therefore does not create a thick layer under your clothing. Due to the length, it stays neatly tucked into your pants or skirt, so that your lower back remains covered even when you sit, bend, or cycle.
Are you doubting between two sizes? Then we usually recommend the larger size. This is definitely true if you have a fuller bust. With a little more room, the camisole sits more comfortably around your chest and under your armpits. The narrow straps stay nicely in place, and the relatively high back gives you just a bit more warmth than a low-cut top.

A wool camisole that doesn't necessarily have to be hidden
This camisole is primarily a fine base layer, but in the color WALNUT, you can also easily wear it visibly. Combine it with an open shirt, a chunky knit cardigan, or wide-leg pants and you have a simple top that looks much less like underwear than the name suggests.

IVN BEST-certified wool-silk
The camisole is IVN BEST-certified. Within this certification, strict requirements are set for the organic fibers used and the further processing of the textile. While no product is completely without impact—that simply doesn't exist—this is a carefully made basic intended to be worn often and for a long time.
Another practical advantage is that wool-silk generally needs to be washed less often than cotton. Airing it out well is often enough to freshen up the camisole. That is better for the material and saves you a wash immediately.
How to wash this wool-silk women's camisole
Hang the camisole out overnight after wearing it near an open window or in the bathroom. If it still needs washing? Choose the wool wash program at a maximum of 30 degrees and use a low spin cycle. A delicate or hand-wash program is not automatically gentle enough for wool, as the drum can sometimes move too much during these cycles.
Use a suitable wool detergent with lanolin, such as our own LANALICIOUS wool-silk detergent. This has been developed for animal fibers such as wool and silk.
- Wash only when airing out is no longer sufficient
- Use the wool wash program at a maximum of 30 degrees
- Wash with a mild wool detergent containing lanolin
- Do not wring, rub, or spin hard
- Gently pull the camisole back into shape
- Let it dry flat on a towel
- Do not use a dryer and do not place it on the heating
Is wool-silk what you are looking for?
This camisole is ideal if you want a thin, soft, and versatile base layer. If you are mainly looking for maximum warmth for really cold conditions, then a thicker 100% wool model might suit you better. In our buying guide for wool underwear, we explain the differences between materials and models.
