Rich, vivid colors born from fine yarn.
With its thin fibers, Extra Fine Merino wool has an elegant sheen and produces vivid colors. To create consistently elegant colors, we dye the wool when it's raw instead of after it's spun into yarn.
100% easy care, 100% wool.
Wool can require extra care, but we've developed several methods to overcome this. With a special non-shrinking treatment, this sweater is machine washable while retaining the elegant feel of wool. We also apply a treatment to suppress pilling and twisting, producing a 100% wool sweater with a longer lifespan.
Elegance, even after repeated washing.
Natural materials are often considered difficult to care for. This wool is treated with shrink‑resistant and anti‑pilling finishes, while preserving its delicate texture. After 15 machine washes, as shown, there’s no noticeable pilling or fuzz.*
*Tested by Kaken Test Center using JIS L1930 standards with a pulsator‑type washing machine. Garments were ironed after washing.
Product Stories
Roger Federer's favorite year-round sweater.
The Merino Sweater is UNIQLO Global Brand Ambassador Roger Federer's favorite for many reasons. It's perfect for various occasions in any season, such as staying warm from fall to spring and taking it with him on evening walks in the summer. Another reason is that it's lightweight, wrinkle-resistant, and machine-washable for his travels worldwide. "I used to dress it up with a collared shirt underneath, but lately, I've been wearing it with a T-shirt and jeans for a casual look or under an evening jacket with dress pants," he says.
Enhancing the fine color and luster.
Only by using Extra Fine Merino, which has extremely thin fibers, were we able to achieve excellent color and elegant luster. Dyeing happens at the pre-spun stage. The wool is dyed evenly over time and transformed into a beautiful thread through a process called "drawing" which makes the separated fibers uniform. A machine does the knitting, but artisans hand link each part. Then, by applying washable processing, it creates a fabric that's elegant and easy to care for.
