Merino and silk together do something neither fibre does alone.

Knit from 200gsm of 70% organic merino wool and 30% silk, this long-sleeve rib crew has a subtle lustre and a drape that pure merino doesn't achieve. The silk adds sheen, strength, and a lightweight warmth that makes this one of the most versatile pieces in the range - worn alone in shoulder seasons or as a close-fitting base layer under heavier knits in winter.

The rib fabric stretches with movement and springs back into shape. Flatlock seams eliminate bulk at the shoulder and underarm. The yarn has been treated with a chlorine-free plasma process for machine washability.

 

Features

  • 200gsm, 70% organic merino / 30% silk - warm, lustrous, and breathable
  • Rib knit for stretch and shape retention
  • Flatlock seams - no bulk under layers
  • Silk adds sheen, strength, and subtle shimmer
  • Temperature regulating - warm in cold, breathable in warmth
  • Naturally anti-odour
  • GOTS certified organic merino wool
  • Chlorine-free plasma treatment - machine washable
  • Wear alone or as a base layer

 

Composition

200gsm 70% GOTS certified organic merino wool, 30% silk - chlorine free.

 

What is a merino silk blend?

Merino wool provides temperature regulation, natural stretch, and odour resistance. Silk adds tensile strength, a smooth surface sheen, and a finer drape than wool alone. Combined at 70/30, the blend retains wool's functional properties while gaining silk's lustre and a softer hand feel. The result is a fabric that works as both a performance base layer and a standalone top.

    Best of its class!!!

    I’ve tried 100% Alpaca. I’ve tried 100% Marino. I’ve tried blends of Alpaca and Marino. My absolute favorite is this Silk Marino combination! It’s the most affordable! Warmer than 100% Marino wool. Softer than 100% Marino Wool. More durable than Alpaca blends. Not as warm as 100% Alpaca. More affordable than 100% Alpaca. The most versatile for wearing as pajamas, as a base layer or on its own. Great for any season inside or outside of the house. Fabulous color selection! Best colors I’ve seen anywhere else!

    Lovely lightweight yet warm fabric

    I love this lighter version of a long sleeve from Nui...I own almost all of their thicker wool shirts and adore those too, but this is the perfect thickness for the shoulder seasons or as a baselayer. I got the matching leggings and adore it as a set!

    Couldn't resist Dill!

    I already have and love a few of these, but couldn't resist adding Dill as well. Such a great color!

    Crew tee

    This was a great fit for me. I got to pair with the leggings and like I said about the leggings, I was expecting a more rust/brown color, not with a redder tone like it was in person, but the shirt fit me really well. I’m 5’4” 115lbs, I got the Small. I didn’t want it to be super tight, but it isn’t baggy either. I wish it was a tad softer fabric after washing, but it is still comfortable and warm when needed! This will last for years I’m sure! Also, it’s the perfect weight—not too thick or thin.

    What a find!

    I was looking to replace my wool/cotton base layer. The product I bought for years was discontinue. So, I searched and found Nui wool/silk products! I was hoping they would suffice as replacements. They far exceed my hopes. They are so soft and flexible. The fabric breathes and comforts. And the waistband does not bind, but it's elastic enough to do its job. I'm very pleased. I'm hoping to get another set when they are back in stock. Gotta keep a fresh pair while the other is drying. I'm hoping they start making them without color, white or ivory, to go better under light-colored garments. Yay!

    Really, really nice fabric. Color is rich and delish. Generous sizing- but true to size. Love it so much.

    Great quality, slightly scratchy for a first layer

    I was hoping that the silk in this would soften it enough to wear as a first layer in the winter. It’s a beautiful shirt that fits well, has nice weight, drapes nicely, and is cut just right. Unfortunately, with all that going for it, it’s too scratchy for me to wear without a silk tee underneath, which defeats its purpose for me. If you can wear merino on bare skin, I recommend this as a base layer. If you can’t, just be aware that the silk only softens it slightly. (Also, be prepared to wait a long, long, loooong time to receive it. Pre-order shipping estimates were off by almost 2 months, to the point that I started to doubt whether the company existed.)

    It's weight in feel but super warming. It's great to pair with my dresses to stay warm.

    Lovely color

    Love the blue color and the feel of the fabric. At 5’10” I wish the body length was longer. Overall happy with the purchase.

    Beautiful and Comfy

    This top is one of my favorites. The Rust color is beautiful, the fabric is soft, warm and stretchy. It has a subtle sheen that elevates the look a bit. I’m very happy with my purchase.

    Stretchy & Soft

    I’m 100% satisfied with my purchase. The fabric is soft against my skin, no scratchy feel at all. It’s warm, cozy, and the Denim color is beautiful! I wear this as a base layer, and as a top.

    2nd chance

    This replaces a 100% merino top that got lots of holes after 1 wear and wash. Not as soft but stiff comfy and nice color, fit. I hope the combination merino/silk will hold up better. If it does I'll be back for more

    Simple and luxurious

    These are really beautiful and feel wonderful on the skin. I have one in rust and one in the gorgeous dill color. They are fantastic as a base layer, or a lounge layer, or as a shirt out and about. I love mine!! Thank you!

    natural, lovely and so perfect

    finally decided to get some of these beautiful wool items. I ordered 2 shirts and love the color of the blue and light pink. I read the reviews and it is true - buy a size larger then what you measure at. They are form fitting and getting a size larger works perfect for me. I love that you can push the sleeves up your arm and they stay up with out being to tight.
    They are quite long at the waist which is perfect.
    I defiantly would suggest if you are wondering about them get on their newsletter and wait for a sale. I got mine for buy 1 get 1 for free. :) thanks for making such a great product!

    My go to long sleeve!

    I love this latest rendition of Nui merino/silk! The fabric is lightweight and silky, but the ribbed knit pattern gives fantastic structure to the garments and depth/texture to the color. I wear this long sleeve layered or on it's own. I find it to be super flattering for a basic everyday item!

    Favorite thing

    This is the perfect nighttime shirt! So comfy and regulates temperature well. I can wear it a several nights in a row without it getting much odor.

    One of my favorite things

    This is my favorite shirt from October to April. It’s perfect for hiking, running, skiing, lounging, sleeping. It layers beautifully when it is really cold, but holds up to night time fluctuations of you are a hot sleeper. I bought an extra one just in case I stain or damage the one I have and I am slowly expanding my collection so I don’t have to strategize my wears around laundry. My husband and daughter like the merino line better because it is softer. However, while this is a rougher texture than that, I find it softer than a standard cotton t-shirt.

    Perfect layer

    I’ve been using synthetic layers the past few winters and am so happy to have found this wonderful, light, comfortable shirt. It’s thin, but the right warmth for me, and exactly the weight I want as a base layer. The small fit just as I had hoped. So much better than polyester!

    Everything I've been looking for

    I bought the shirt and leggings and am in love with both of them. Have essentially worn them every day since they arrived. I've been experiencing night sweats and when worn now, I am not waking up with sweating in the middle of the night. AMAZING! It retained it's shape after washing and overall I am beyond happy.

    Size wise, I got a medium to be safe as I wanted this comfy and not tight fitting. I probably could have gone with a small as it does stretch, but again, it retains shape and isn't super saggy.

    Another shout out is needed for the customer service team. They were more than accommodating in my questions on size, fit and resolved shipping issues right away. Huge thanks to them.

    New favorite shirt!

    I can't recommend this shirt enough. I want every color. Though thin, it is very warm and the color is vibrant (deep sea). I love the texture/ribbing, too.

    I love this top! The color and the texture are fantastic. It is very warm despite being on the thinner side. Would recommend! I want more colors!

    Excellent quality, runs a bit big

    I love the weight and quality of this set. The color is exactly as pictured on the website. However I found the size runs a bit bigger, which isn’t a big deal but if you prefer a snugger fit, size down.
