80% ZQ Certified Merino Wool, 20% Hemp
Hemp and merino wool are two of nature’s best fibres, and together they create something truly special.
Hemp is incredibly strong, breathable, and eco-friendly, requiring minimal water and no pesticides to grow. Merino wool is known for its softness, natural temperature regulation, and moisture-wicking properties.
When blended, hemp adds durability and structure to the luxurious softness of merino, creating knitwear that is lightweight, breathable, and surprisingly strong.
Both fibres are biodegradable, renewable, and naturally odour-resistant, making them better for you and better for the planet.
The Sizing
Our sweaters are designed for a relaxed, versatile fit that suits all genders. They follow standard unisex sizing and are slightly roomier through the body for comfort and layering.
Classic Collection (unisex) - Women may prefer to size down for a closer fit, while men can choose their usual size. If you are between sizes or prefer a more fitted look, we recommend sizing down.
If you are unsure, our size guide can help, and we offer 30 day returns and exchanges for peace of mind.
Wash & Care
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.

Frequently asked questions
-
Hemp and merino bring together the best of both fibres, softness, warmth, breathability, and natural durability. Merino keeps you comfortable across changing temperatures, while hemp helps the garment hold its shape beautifully and wear well over time. As the only brand using ZQ merino and hemp together, Hemprino offers a blend you will not find anywhere else.
-
No, our superfine merino and hemp blend is designed to feel soft directly against the skin, including for many people who usually find wool uncomfortable.
-
Because Hemprino blends superfine merino with hemp, the yarn has added strength and stability, helping the knit maintain its shape, durability, and refined appearance over time. With gentle care, it is designed to wear beautifully for years.
What is pilling?
Pilling is a natural characteristic of knitwear and occurs when loose surface fibres gather through everyday friction, most often in high contact areas such as under the arms or where a bag or seatbelt rubs. The addition of hemp helps strengthen the yarn, supporting a smoother finish and helping the garment keep looking smart over time -
We know fit matters, which is why we offer 30 day returns and exchanges. Try it on at home, and if you need another size, simply send it back.
-
Hemprino is designed as a four seasons layer, offering cosy warmth without the bulk of a heavy garment. Merino and hemp naturally regulate temperature, helping keep you warm when it is cold while remaining breathable indoors and across changing conditions.
