Care Instructions

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.

Do not tumble dry.

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.

Lots to love about my Rakaia Trailblazer Hoody

There’s much to love about this garment: vibrant colour, gorgeously soft - feels like wearing a snuggly hug- true to sizing guide, and stylishly casual. A quality NZ made product. Shhhh don’t tell my husband but I’m likely to be shopping Hemprino again!

Oh Jackie, you’ve made my day. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We won’t tell your husband — promise :) - Harriet

Blue Hoodie ❤️

I bought the hoodie in the bright blue colour. Love the colour, love the fabric. The merino/hemp combo is soft and I really like the marle effect the hemp gives theMarino. I’ve been enjoying the casual style of the garment but the sleeves are a bit long on me. The rest of the fit is great. Very happy with this NZ product and I am so pleased to be able to support a kiwi business.

Tidy jumper

I bought this jumper for my husband and he loves it. He usually buys v neck jumpers so it is nice to have another option to put on to go out. Sometimes hoodies are a bit scruffy but this one looks smart.

Hemp jumper

I haven’t worn hemp before but really like it. I usually go for a possum and merino jumper but this one is very nice and washes well. I have been getting lots of compliments when I wear it and love telling people about it.

Hoodie Rakaia blue

At last a natural blend of merino wool and hemp. I’ve been wearing merino for a while but it tends to get holes within one or two seasons. So happy there’s a more durable natural fibre like hemp in the mix!
