Wash at 30°C on the wool program.

Use a mild wool detergent.

Tumble drying is allowed - Only for Byhappyme products.

Always follow the washing instructions.

Byhappyme recommends washing at 30°C and using a mild wool detergent.

Our wool series can be tumble dried, but it will keep its best appearance and shape if stretched while wet and laid flat to dry. The choice is yours, and both methods are equally correct.

Skip a wash if there are no visible stains. Wool regenerates itself, and airing it outdoors overnight can be a great alternative.

Yes, there are definitely differences, and it does matter which type of merino wool you choose for textiles.

Byhappyme uses some of the highest quality merino wool for our wool products.

When discussing wool and quality, the “fineness” of the wool quickly becomes a topic. The unit of measurement used for wool is called MICRON.

MICRON is an abbreviation for Micron, a unit used to describe the diameter of wool fibers. One micron is one thousandth of a millimeter (0.001 mm). When talking about wool, the micron measurement is used to assess the fineness of the fibers. For Merino wool, a lower micron measurement indicates a finer and softer quality.

Standard merino wool typically ranges from 20-23 microns, while fine merino wool falls between 18-20 microns. Byhappyme uses wool with a micron count of 19, placing it at the top end of the quality scale.

The finer the wool, the fewer coarse fibers it has, and therefore, it is less likely to itch. Most wool on the market today is treated to minimize itching, so the idea that wool itches is becoming a myth. However, individual sensitivity can vary.

If you find that wool itches, we recommend wearing the item for 10-15 minutes until it reaches body temperature. Once the wool is warmed to body temperature, many people find that the itching sensation disappears. Fortunately, we receive a lot of positive feedback from our customers about our Byhappyme quality. Many even express that the quality is surprisingly soft and comfortable to wear.

At Byhappyme, we are proud to offer merino wool with 2 internationally recognized certifications. This is quite unique in itself.

It is also important for us to demonstrate responsibility towards our customers and their well-being. Environmental considerations are, of course, also important, and with these certifications, we can show a genuine interest in minimizing our environmental impact.
 

All of Byhappyme's wool products are covered by these 2 certifications:
 

OEKO-TEX®: Ensures that textile products are free from harmful substances and tested for health-damaging chemicals.

Most natural materials shrink during washing, and merino wool is no exception. To be on the safe side, we state a maximum shrinkage of 8% in our care instructions, but our actual tests show a shrinkage of 2-3% when the item is treated correctly according to the recommendations. This is on the lower side, and we are naturally proud of it.
