How can wool not be itchy against bare skin?

Typically, wool is itchy... very itchy.However, most wool apparel these days are made out of "merino wool". Merino wool offers “no-itch” comfort; merino wool fiber is so fine that five strands equal the width of a human hair. Its long fibers guarantee a wool shirt like this won’t itch. If this shirt was made out of 100% wool, yes, it would be itchy like you said, but merino wool is here to stay :)
