Women’s Merino Cashmere Balaclava

Named Noé, this minimal knitted balaclava is crafted from a luxurious blend of 90% ultra-fine merino wool and 10% cashmere, combining exceptional softness with natural performance.

Made using a smooth single jersey construction, Noé offers a refined, lightweight finish that sits comfortably against the skin. The fine rib trim around the face and hem provides gentle structure and ensures a secure fit, while the breathable natural fibres deliver warmth without weight.

Designed for versatility, it can be worn as a balaclava, hood, or neck warmer - perfect for layering through colder months or adding subtle texture to everyday looks. Its understated design makes it as practical for outdoor pursuits as it is elegant for city wear.

Merino Wool Yarn

Exceptionally fine and naturally intelligent, merino wool is prized for its ability to regulate temperature while remaining soft against the skin. Designed by nature to adapt, it provides warmth in cooler conditions and breathability when temperatures rise.

We source our chunky merino from Peru and our extrafine and superfine merino is supplied by industry favourites Zegna Baruffa (Est. 1850), Papi Fabio (Est. 1890) and Lanerossi (Est. 1817).

Moisture-wicking fibres keep you fresh, dry, and comfortable.

Light yet warm, with natural strength and shape retention.
