Joha body natur merino wool/silk with laces

Body in a green shade from Joha with long sleeves and snap buttons at the placket and between the legs.

The fine blend of merino wool and silk makes the body very soft with a subtle sheen and gentle on the skin, suitable for everyday wear.

The design includes a practical closure that makes it easy to put on and take off, with a regular fit.

MilkyWalk’s review and recommendation of Joha wool/silk body

Written by Kristine from MilkyWalk

I love Joha’s wool/silk quality. When holding this body, it’s hard to feel any “wool scratchiness” in the fabric – it is very fine, thin, soft, and smooth. This is a body that can be used all year round since the fabric is not thick. In summer it can be worn on its own, and in winter it can be combined with a cardigan for extra warmth. It’s perfect as the innermost layer against the skin.

In Joha’s system, this quality is called “196” – a light wool/silk blend suitable for year-round use. For very cold winters, it may be better to choose a thicker quality or combine with more layers, for example a cardigan.
 

Who should choose a wool/silk body from Joha?

I would generally recommend wool/silk for everyone. The material is incredibly soft and smooth, and the main advantage of wool is that it absorbs moisture and still keeps warm, even when wet. I can hardly imagine anyone finding this wool/silk fabric itchy – it is extremely soft and comes with my highest recommendation.

Always remember to use wool detergent to keep the fibers strong and elastic for longer. Tests have shown that regular detergents can contain enzymes that break down wool fibers. After repeated washing with the wrong detergent, the wool becomes noticeably thinner and more fragile, which can cause holes to appear quickly. So always use wool detergent!
