North Outdoor Women's Tunturimekko

We’ve waited for this: a long merino wool dress that’s soft against the skin. Inspired by the Tunturi knit top, the women’s North Outdoor Tunturi dress is warm, breathable and stretchy.

The cut is fashionably loose. Wear it in the city, at home and at the summer cabin!

Compared to regular wool, merino is less itchy: most people who find ordinary sheep’s wool itchy can wear merino without any problems. The secret lies in the fibres themselves, the individual hairs: a merino sheep’s wool fibre is thinner and its scales are considerably smaller than in ordinary sheep’s wool.

• Spacious fit
• Material 100% mulesing-free merino wool
• Fabric weight 390 g/m², single jersey knit
• Merino fibre thickness: 19.5 microns
• Made in Finland

North Outdoor’s knitted products are made with extremely little waste material: each panel is knitted to exactly the right size, and no fabric is cut during manufacturing.

Airing and steam pressing are the best ways to care for and freshen up merino wool garments. Machine wash at 30 °C on a very gentle or wool programme. Recommended spin speed no more than 800 rpm. Wool detergent, a very light spin and washing in a laundry bag help the garment last longer. Do not use fabric softener. Reshape the garment while damp if needed. Iron at no more than one dot (110 °C) if the steam pressing setting is not available.
