About the merino:
Washable, not superwash?
While neither Maximo or Merino Baby are treated with chemicals to make them “superwash” – they are washable! Pascuali utilizes a biotechnological wool treatment (of enzymes) to modify the scales of the wool. When needed, Merino Baby and Maximo can be put in the washing machine using a wool cycle and cold water (drying flat). This treatment is more environmentally friendly than traditional superwash chemical treatments.
