How is 'mercerized wool' listed in knit materials different from regular wool?
When seeing an unfamiliar English processing term in a knit product's material composition, shoppers want to know the difference in feel and texture.
It is wool that has undergone mercerization, a yarn made to have a subtle luster and a soft touch by smoothing down the rough scales on the surface.
Mercerized Merino Wool, found in MOONDAL's classic knit line, is a material that enhances smoothness by refining the wool's texture[1][2].
Mercerization is originally a processing method that cleans up the fiber surface to add luster and smoothness. When applied to wool, the rough scale structure on the yarn's outer surface is smoothed, significantly reducing the scratchy irritation typical of wool yarn. This is also why it feels as soft against the skin as cotton or silk, and reveals a subtle luster on the surface.
MOONDAL knitted this yarn thinly to create V-neck and round-neck knits[3][4][5]. Because the fabric is thin and soft, it is easy to wear alone directly against the skin or layered under outerwear during chilly seasons[6].
The specific yarn count (thickness of the thread) and the origin of the wool have not yet been confirmed.
