About Jodo Nest

About us

Jodo Nest is a New Zealand–inspired lifestyle brand crafting premium Merino socks for women and babies.

We design refined essentials that feel soft, wear comfortably, and bring a thoughtfully styled ease to everyday life.

Rooted in Aotearoa’s gentle light and natural calm, our pieces are simple to wear, carefully made, and quietly distinctive.

Our Philosophy

At Jodo Nest, we focus on the details that truly matter in a pair of socks:
• how soft and comfortable they feel on the skin
• how well they stay in place throughout the day
• how they hold their shape over time
• how tidy and refined they look after repeated wear

We believe the essentials you reach for every day should feel dependable, thoughtful, and quietly elevated.

Crafted with NestSpun™ Merino

We use 100% premium Merino yarn, developed into our signature NestSpun™ Merino to deliver:
• exceptional softness
• anti-pilling performance
• durable structure and shape retention
• seamless toe construction
• a long-lasting refined appearance

Comfortable from the first wear — and made to stay that way.

Colour, Curated

Every shade is Pantone-matched and custom dyed exclusively for Jodo Nest. Soft, wearable tones that pair effortlessly with thoughtfully styled wardrobes — clean, calm, and quietly distinctive.

Our Story

My foundation is in apparel — years spent understanding how well-made garments should come together, feel, and endure.
When I became a mother, that understanding naturally shaped the choices I made for my baby.

My son was born in the New Zealand summer, on a cloudy day, and I prepared all 100% cotton clothing for him — believing it would be gentle and comfortable enough.
But during our first day at the birth centre, he remained unsettled.
A nurse checked his temperature and found that he was cold, even with multiple cotton layers.

After two days at the birth centre, we returned home, and I bought Merino clothing and socks for him. The change was immediate — he became calm and settled. From that moment on, Merino became a daily essential in our home.

With my background, I knew exactly how well-made garments should perform. But I still couldn’t find Merino socks for babies that met the standards I believed were necessary:
super soft, durable, anti-pilling, seamless, easy to machine-wash, and visually refined.

That was when the idea of creating my own brand took shape. This became Jodo Nest — named after my son’s nickname, Jodo.

A brand built from real experience and intentional design, created to offer everyday essentials that are gentle, durable, and quietly stylish.
