Meet the Merino Grower: Paul Ensor
The Ensor family have farmed Glenaan Station in New Zealand's South Island for over 100 years.
This is the land our merino wool comes from. These are the people who grew it. They know every paddock. They know their animals. They've built something special — a place with a name, a story, and a standard worth keeping.
When Paul talks about the land, he talks about responsibility. To the soil, to the animals, to the people who'll wear what comes from it.
That's not a marketing spin. That's just how they farm every day.

Still have questions?
Common questions about our ZQ Merino and hemp knitwear.
What is Hemprino made of?
We use a unique blend of ZQ Merino wool and sustainable hemp. This combination provides natural temperature regulation, odor resistance, and extreme durability without using any synthetic plastic fibers.
Is the wool ethically sourced?
Yes, our Merino wool is ZQ certified and sourced from our own family farm. This is the world's leading ethical wool standard, ensuring strict requirements for animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and fair social conditions for farm workers.
Where is the farm located?
Glenaan Station is in the Upper Rakaia Gorge in Mid Canterbury, New Zealand.
How do I care for my knitwear?
Hemprino is naturally odor resistant and doesn't need frequent washing. When you do wash it, use a cold wool cycle with wool detergent and dry it flat in the shade.
Will it get softer over time?
Hemp is incredibly durable and becomes softer with every wear. It adds structural integrity to the Merino, meaning your knitwear will hold its shape much longer than pure wool garments.
Is it better for the environment?
Absolutely. Our fibres are 100% natural and biodegradable. Unlike polyester fleece, Hemprino will never shed microplastics into our waterways or sit in a landfill for centuries.
Do you ship to my country?
We offer free shipping on all orders over $200 worldwide. Most orders arrive within 5-7 business days depending on your specific location and customs processing.
What is your return policy?
We offer a 30-day return policy for any unworn items in their original packaging. We want you to be completely satisfied with the fit and feel of your Hemprino.
Can I find this blend elsewhere?
No. Hemprino is the only brand in the world using this specific elite blend of ZQ Merino and hemp.
How does it regulate temperature?
Merino fibres have a natural crimp that traps air to keep you warm, while hemp has a hollow core that wicks moisture. Together, they keep you perfectly comfortable in any weather.
