Consider These Pieces
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).

The purchase was a present,
"The purchase was a present, but the recipient is very pleased with it. It keeps his head warm."
Great quality and warm
"Great quality and warm"
Well made, shame the clothes range doesn't come in larger sizes
"Well made and nice quality wool. It's just a shame that their clothes don't come in larger sizes for those of us who unfortunately won't fit into their current range."
Nice hat overall, with a couple of qualms!
"The Paul James heavyweight merino wool hat is well-constructed and made from quality material, providing warmth and comfort. However, the fit is quite snug—potentially on the smaller side of small—so those with larger heads may find it too tight. While the initial construction feels solid, the hat has started to loosen at the crown after only two months of wear, which raises some concerns about long-term durability. Overall, it’s a decent option for those looking for a warm, well-made wool hat, but the fit and longevity may not be ideal for everyone."

Present
"I gave this to my son and he loves it, your walking socks are always a staple at Christmas time for him. Amazing quality."
Beanie hats
"Fit well and good quality and colour. I bought light grey and navy blue. I would have bought 8135-MAHOGANY-LARGE / 8135 SAFFRON LARGE too but they are still out of stock."
The Heavyweight Merino Active Beanie Is The One To Get
"The heavyweight merino beanie was just the correct weight and fabric that I was looking for. It has a snug fit and covered the top of my head with comfort."
