Moth protection: before storage over the summer months, wash and stow away in a sealed plastic bag with moth paper.
For this merino wool, only hair with an excellent degree of fineness and purity is selected. This is the only way to obtain the incredibly soft yarn that gives every shade of color luminosity and durability. This special wool is only 19.5 micrometers thick (a micrometer is a millionth of a meter). The hair with this fineness bends along the skin to create knitwear that is as soft and comfortable to wear as cashmere. The wool is dyed heavy metal free and is mulesing free.

Tina Grässli started with her first
designs in 1994 and produced them herself with her own knitting machine. The
demand for these unique items quickly increased. Soon she was able to
commission the first production under the name XESS. Together with Baba Rüegg
and others, she opened the motley shop "SAUS + BRAUS" in 1996 and
founded the company xess + baba Ltd almost at the same time.
Today Tina Grässli works with Christian La Roche, her long-term partner and husband. As an experienced theater person, he puts things in the right light and ensures order in the backstage.
