We exclusively use compact spun merino wool yarns in all our products.

A lot SHOULD change in the thirty years since we brought Merino wool to the world. At Point6 Merino, things have changed. We feel a responsibility to keep making our products last longer and work better (and that includes charging less so more people can enjoy the best Merino out there.) One big innovation we’re using is Compact Spinning, which we use for every garment we make.

So what is Compact Spun wool & why use?

  • Compact Spun Yarns

  • Ring Spun Yarns

Unlike traditional ring spinning, Compact Spinning uses centripetal force to create a tighter yarn strand that’s 25% stronger, allowing us to create a sock with less nylon content and better cross stretch. These stronger fibres are also smoother, resulting in a softer feel and way less wear and pilling from friction. This all means you get better Merino and more of it — for more comfort and fewer problems.

The Benefits of Compact Spun Yarns

  • Point6 Merino Wool Essential Socks being put on

    Super fine Merino Wool

    The compact spinning process reduces the amount of air from between the fibers, creating a more compact yarn, with a much softer feel. More merino. Less problems. 

  • More Durable

    Using compact spun makes our merino wool 25% more durable than ring spun yarn and helps us feel confident that our socks will meet any challenge. Guaranteed.

  • Reduced Pilling

    Because compact spinning reduces the amount of loose fibres it results in a product that stands the test of time. You can use our garments safe in the knowledge it will be without excessive wear or pilling.
