There are those items you put on and immediately think: yes, this makes my day more comfortable. This wool-silk longsleeve is exactly one of those.
Why you'll want it
The longsleeve is made of 70 percent organic merino wool and 30 percent silk, a combination your skin will immediately recognize as soft, warm, and soothing. It fits nicely without being tight and has been intentionally made a bit longer so that it stays neatly tucked into your pants. No more cold back, even if you move around a lot during the day.
The V-neck is subtle and feminine, yet designed to remain invisible under sweaters or shirts with slightly wider necklines. The flatlock seams are thin and do not show under your clothes. And the best part? You can comfortably wear this longsleeve for several days without washing it, because merino wool does not absorb unpleasant odors. Perfect for daily use, work, walking, winter sports, or just for at home.
Colors & combinations
It is available in four timeless colors: black, natural, sea, and light pink. Pair it with the matching leggings and camisoles to complete your base layer.
Why choose merino wool?
Merino wool is one of my favorite materials, and not without reason. It is warm, breathable, and antibacterial, which helps it stay fresh without needing frequent washing. It regulates heat, wicks away moisture, and feels wonderfully soft. Combined with silk, you get a luxurious base layer that you hardly feel, yet that does it all.
Material & care
You hardly need to wash organic wool – airing it out outside or hanging it in the bathroom during a hot shower is usually enough. Do you want to wash the longsleeve anyway? Do so cold or on the wool cycle and use a wool detergent with lanolin, such as Lanalicious. This keeps the fibers supple and prevents the material from drying out.
After washing, gently pull the longsleeve into shape lengthwise so that it stays looking good and retains its fine length.
You can see extra tips in the video I made especially for you: watch this video. But also read our washing guide, which you receive with every purchase, carefully.
Sustainable & fair
Living Crafts produces according to high ecological standards. The wool is organic, the products are made fairly, and the quality is reliable and strong. So you are not just buying a longsleeve – you are buying a basic piece that you will enjoy for years to come.
