 Frequently Asked Questions 

How should I wash and store woollen clothes?

Always follow the care label on the specific garment. Woolmark advises using the wool or delicate cycle where machine washing is permitted, using a mild neutral detergent and flat-drying wool garments.
Hand-washable wool garments should generally be washed in clean lukewarm water with a gentle detergent and rinsed carefully.  Armisto

Recommended care steps:

  • Check the garment label before washing.
  • Turn the garment inside out.
  • Use cold or lukewarm water as instructed.
  • Use a mild wool detergent.
  • Avoid harsh rubbing, twisting and wringing.
  • Lay the garment flat to dry when recommended.
  • Avoid high heat unless the care label specifically permits it.
  • Fold woollen clothes for storage instead of hanging them.
  • Store garments clean and completely dry.
  • Keep them in a dry, ventilated place protected from insects.

Wool naturally resists odour, stains and creasing, so it may not need washing after every wear.  Armisto

Can I buy woollen jackets online in India?

Yes, woollen jackets can be purchased online in India from apparel brands and specialist retailers. Before ordering, check the jacket’s wool content, lining, thickness, fit, closure, pockets and intended use. Armisto

A woollen jacket may be suitable for everyday winterwear, travel or outdoor use, but its warmth depends on the fabric weight and construction. For rain, snow or strong wind, choose an outer layer with
suitable weather protection rather than relying only on the wool fabric. Armisto

Is Merino wool suitable for Indian winters?

Yes, Merino wool is suitable for Indian winters. Lightweight Merino garments work well for layering in cities with mild or moderate winters, while heavier wool sweaters are more suitable for colder locations such as hill stations and northern regions.

Merino wool can be useful because it offers warmth without necessarily feeling as heavy as some traditional wool  arments. It is also breathable, making it suitable for changing indoor and outdoor temperatures. Armisto

What are the best wool clothes in India?

The best wool clothes depend on the climate, activity and level of warmth required. Suitable options include:

  • Lightweight Merino wool sweaters for layering.
  • Medium-weight woollen sweaters for everyday winter use.
  • Heavy wool pullovers for colder regions.
  • Woollen jackets for outdoor wear.
  • Wool cardigans for moderate winter weather.
  • Wool scarves, caps and socks for extra warmth.
  • Wool-blend garments for lighter, more affordable layering.

For quality assurance, check the fibre composition and look for the Woolmark symbol where certification is claimed. Woolmark certification is intended to provide assurance about the wool fibre and product quality. Armisto

Is a woollen sweater suitable for trekking?

Yes, a woollen sweater can be suitable for trekking, especially in cool or cold conditions. Wool provides warmth, breathability and natural odour resistance, while Merino wool is particularly comfortable for outdoor activities because its fine fibres are soft and help regulate body temperature. Armisto

For trekking, choose a lightweight or midweight woollen sweater that allows easy layering. In wet, windy or very cold conditions, wear it with a moisture-managing base layer and a windproof or waterproof outer jacket. A sweater alone may not provide sufficient protection during heavy rain, strong wind or sub-zero weather. Armisto

Which wool sweater should I take for European winter?

For a European winter, choose a medium- to heavy-weight
Merino wool or Woolmark-certified sweater, depending on the destination and activity. A crew-neck or high-neck sweater is suitable for everyday city wear, while a heavier knit or Merino wool mid-layer is better for outdoor travel and colder regions. Armisto

When selecting a sweater, consider:

  • Fine Merino wool for comfort against the skin.
  • A medium or heavy knit for greater warmth.
  • A close but comfortable fit for layering.
  • A high neck or turtleneck for additional coverage.
  • Wool content and fabric weight.
  • Easy-care instructions for travel.
  • Compatibility with a thermal base layer and outer jacket.

For destinations with snow, strong wind or temperatures below freezing, combine the sweater with thermal clothing, insulated outerwear, gloves, a hat and weather-resistant footwear. No single wool sweater should be treated as a complete substitute for a layered winter clothing system. Armisto

What is Woolmark wool?

Woolmark wool is wool used in products that have passed the relevant standards of The Woolmark Company’s certification programme. The Woolmark symbol helps consumers identify wool products that meet specified requirements for fibre content, quality and performance. Certified products can also have supply-chain traceability through a unique batch number.  Armisto

Woolmark is not a separate species of wool. It is a certification mark. The product may be made from pure wool, Merino wool or another qualifying wool construction, depending on the certification category stated on its label or product page. Armisto
