I just received my 100% merino wool cardigan and it’s itchy. Not happy. I can even see fibers that are rough. So disappointed

Hi Susie,

Most of our scarves are made from merino wool which is generally not itchy. Pure wool tends to itch more as the wool is more coarse.

Hope this helps and thanks for reading.

Happy New Year!

Lulu
