WOOL FROM SWISS MERINO SHEEP
A real rarity
A rare sight: Merino sheep grazing on local pastures. Our partners, Cecile Aschwanden and Spycher Handwerk, made this vision possible. We were able to use the wool they harvested to knit the exclusive Swiss Merino Beanies together with Mr. Urs. The result is Switzerland's most beautiful and rarest hats.
The cooler climate in Switzerland allows Merino sheep to adapt and produce more resilient wool. Over time, the fine wool becomes slightly thicker and less soft—a natural reaction to the harsh conditions that makes it so special. This is precisely why our Swiss Merino Project remains a unique flagship project, and the production of Swiss Merino Beanies remains deliberately limited.

Wool is a miracle fiber
For pleasant warmth
Its functional properties, highly valued by outdoor athletes—especially its high level of comfort, body temperature regulation, and odor-inhibiting properties—are based solely on the structure of the merino fibers. These are very fine, soft, highly crimped, scaled, and elastic.
