Welcome to Wool Starter Set, Beanie & Wristwarmers

Begin your wool ritual.

The season’s first cool air calls for a return to natural warmth. This set pairs one of our signature beanies and a pair of matching (or contrasting) wristwarmers — a gentle introduction to the quiet luxury of New Zealand wool. Whether you’re discovering it for the first time, or passing the ritual on to someone you love, Welcome to Wool marks the start of something lasting: warmth, softness, and connection.

If you have never worn possum merino before this is the perfect “starter set” to try. Some people worry that the wool will be prickly, like the wool of our childhoods. A beanie is a good starter item as it won’t be in direct contact with too much skin should you find it prickly. That said very few people find possum merino prickly. It’s incredibly soft. 

Newcomers to the lovely warm world of possum merino also worry about care for natural materials. It’s true you cannot simply throw these products in the wash but they are machine washable with a few precautions taken: 

• Always use a detergent suitable for wool. We recommend EcoStore Wool & Delicates. We will pop some washing instructions in with your Welcome to Wool set. 
• You can machine wash if you use a mesh laundry bag and your washing machine has a delicate cycle. 
• Items should be dried flat in the shade, not tumble-dried. 

Merino wool is an amazing fibre that resists odours and stains meaning you don’t actually need to wash your sets very often. Simply air overnight.
