Choose soft and airy clothes

For those of you with sensitive skin or atopic eczema, it is important to keep your skin dry, as heat and sweat provoke itching and rashes. Therefore, we recommend LHL Asthma and Allergy soft, light and airy clothes that breathe well.

Lanullva's unique knitting method, combined with the natural properties of merino wool, produces woolen clothing with precisely these properties:

Breathable knitting method that keeps you dry and warm

Our knitting method provides better heat regulation, and ensures that sweat and moisture are transported away from the skin. The secret is mesh with air pockets that give our garments good insulation and ventilation. Lanulva thus better preserves the warmth you already have, while wool breathes and releases excess heat that would otherwise make you wet and cold. This way we keep you warm regardless of the temperature and activity level.

Soft and itch-free merino wool

We use RWS certified merino wool. This wool has thin, fine wool fibers that feel soft against the skin. In addition to being itchy, merino wool has high insulation capacity, antibacterial properties and is largely self-cleaning. Our knitting method enhances merino wool's natural properties, and the result is woolen clothing that is comfortable to wear and stays drier during activity.

Soothing effect on eczema

We receive several feedbacks from satisfied customers who say that Lanullva's woolen clothes can be used by both adults and children with sensitive skin or atopic eczema.

Several studies show that merino wool can have a soothing effect for this group. In 2017, the ' Australian  Wool Innovation ' a study with superfine merino wool, and the results show a decrease in the severity and symptoms of atopic eczema in the participants. It is the ability of wool to regulate moisture levels and temperature that has a positive effect on the unnaturally dry skin and the itching it causes.

All merino wool below 21.5 microns, such as Lanullva's wool, should be itchy and soft against the skin. However, dermatologists recommend that parents listen to their children if they do not want to wear different types of wool. For some, the skin will be so sensitive that even fine merino wool can cause irritation.
