Hemprino
At Hemprino, we do one thing exceptionally well: blend ethical ZQ-certified merino wool and hemp into knitwear that feels softer, lasts longer, and treads lighter. No synthetics. It's second nature.
Let customers speak for us
from 249 reviewsI love my Hemprino sweater, especially the perfect balance between Marino warmth and Hemp durability. No pilling.!!
Couldn’t resist buying the matching Hoodie. 🥰
My cardigan arrived yesterday, prompt delivery. It is just lovely, great fit and I especially like the buttons with the Hemprino logo on them. Thank you.
Love all that I have purchased! The hoodie the V-neck and the the women's pink V neck, plus the wrap. Soft ,warm,Cosy. Lovely. Thank you,and New Zealand made! Even better!
Soft to wear and provides plenty of warmth in my open workspace. Great length to enable me to still use my laptop. I like the length as it exposes the garment I am wearing on top underneath i.e. provides a bit of interest/contrast.
I thought I would try something different and was pleasantly surprised. Nice and soft, lovely style and love the colour.
My husband was very happy with his jumper from Hemprino. It is a good weight, not too heavy and washed well when he spilt something on it, so a tick from me.
The softest, most beautiful wrap I’ve ever owned. I never want to take it off.
Perfect for my trip to Europe. It was nice and light so I took it in my carry on. I always feel the cold on the plane and this was perfect - like wearing a light blanket.
This was a lot of money for me to spend on a jumper, but I am sick of buying cheap merino that pills and looks shabby. I have worn this a lot in the last month and it is still looking great.
I like to support locally made businesses and was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked the wrap. The second time I wore it I spilt something on it and it washed beautifully.
I bought this jumper for my husband and he loves it. He usually buys v neck jumpers so it is nice to have another option to put on to go out. Sometimes hoodies are a bit scruffy but this one looks smart.
I haven’t worn hemp before but really like it. I usually go for a possum and merino jumper but this one is very nice and washes well. I have been getting lots of compliments when I wear it and love telling people about it.
I have had my jumper for a while now and it has had a lot of wear. It is holding up well and no issues with pilling or losing its shape. Good quality.
The jumper isn’t heavy or scratchy which I like. I have been wearing it most days.
I absolutely love the colour of this jersey and get a lot of compliments for it. The jersey is nice and cosy and a great fit. I did size down one as per instructions for women.
