Introducing Washable Merino
Introducing Washable Merino
High-tech meets high-end
Fine merino has always come with a condition: dry clean only. Ours no longer does. Our merino is now spun from Italian CASHWOOL® easy-care yarn, so the softness you expect from extra-fine wool is now machine washable.
1. Fiber
Spun in Biella
Our extra-fine 19.5-micron merino is spun by Zegna Baruffa in Italy's Piedmont, where the mill has made fine yarn since 1850. Every batch passes 12,000 spinning tests for strength, evenness and twist before it reaches our machines.
2. Care
Washable, Naturally
The yarn is finished for easy care, so it machine washes cold on a gentle cycle without shrinking or felting. It comes out the size and shape it went in. No dry cleaner required, no hand basin.
3. Construction
Seamless by Design
Each piece is knit in one continuous piece using WholeGarment® technology. With no seams to pull or twist, it holds its line wash after wash — and weighs less than a sweater sewn from panels.
4. Origin
Made in Brooklyn, Made Only for You
Every piece is knit in Brooklyn after you order it, in 5–10 business days. Nothing warehoused. Nothing wasted.
5. Wear
Softness, for Keeps
Merino is a natural, renewable fiber. Extra-fine merino breathes, regulates warmth and sits softly against the skin, so one piece carries you from a cold morning to a warm room. Made to be worn for years, not seasons.

Three steps. That's the whole routine.

Gentle cycle with a wool-safe detergent.
2. Lay flat to dry.
Or tumble dry on low heat.
3. Dry clean optional.
It's an option, never a requirement.
