Care Instructions
To keep your Hemprino knitwear looking and feeling its best, we recommend gentle care.
Hand wash in cold water using a mild wool detergent, or cold machine wash on a delicate wool cycle.
Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can damage the natural fibres.
After washing, lay it flat to dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Do not tumble dry.
Sustainability & Certifications
Every Hemprino garment starts with ZQ-certified merino and hemp. Both fibres are natural and biodegradable, and need fewer inputs to produce than synthetics.
Our merino is Responsible Wool Standard certified and grown using Savory Institute regenerative principles at Glenaan Station, with ongoing soil and biodiversity monitoring on farm.
We build garments to last, not to be replaced each season. That's the actual sustainability lever: fewer garments made, each one worn longer.

This style is a unisex fit using standard mens sizing. Measurements are shown in cm.
Men: Choose your normal size.
Women: Size down one. For example, if you usually wear a L choose a M.
How to measure:
We measure our garments laid flat, so the chest measurements you see are half-measurements - not taken around the body. To find your best fit, lay flat a similar garment from your wardrobe, and measure it. Then match those numbers to ours.
