WOMEN'S MERINO JUMPERS: YOUR NEW FAVOURITE LAYER

If you want a jumper that doesn’t look out of place at a smart restaurant or on a country walk – and one that you can wear day after day – make it a merino wool jumper.

Merino wool is kind of a magical fibre. It’s both highly breathable and thermoregulating so you can stay cool and calm whatever the weather. It’s also incredibly crease resistant and good at repelling odours thanks to its antibacterial properties. This makes a merino wool jumper a great choice to pack for your holiday, as you can wear it day after day without it getting smelly or wrinkled.

We make ours using high quality Australian merino wool – which has long, fine yarns. This long fibre-length means it has fewer ties and exposed ends in the weave, which makes for exceptional quality and softness. As with all our products, we make sure our merino wool is sustainably sourced. Our merino is certified by the Responsible Wool Standard, to protect the welfare of the sheep and their environment. Furthermore, all processes starting from fibre sourcing to dyeing and washing processes are in compliance with EU (REACH) standards.

Why Rise & Fall?

At Rise & Fall we believe in buying better and buying less. That’s why we use the finest quality, long lasting natural materials like Australian merino wool. Thanks to its longer fibres, this high quality merino wool is less likely to pill and wear away, making your women's merino jumpers last a whole lot longer. We make sure all our products are:

• Made by experts
• Sustainably sourced
• Fairly priced
• Stylish and long lasting
We’ve put this ethos into all our pieces including our women’s merino jumpers. Each style comes in neutral tones, black grey and navy – making for easy to style pieces that will go with everything. Our crewneck merino women’s jumper is as timeless as you can get: a lightweight knit that works well in spring, summer or layered in winter. Towing the line of smart casual, our V neck jumper is a great choice for wearing directly against the skin but it also looks great layered over a crisp white shirt for a preppy look.

Taking things up a notch, our women’s merino wool open collar jumper is as stylish as it is comfortable. The thick knit is slightly weightier, warmer and hangs beautifully over smart trousers, floaty dresses or t-shirts and jeans. It’s a beautifully luxurious jumper, a real investment piece.
