New Zealand Merino Wool
Merino is a special, fine grade of wool that comes from Merino Sheep. It has all the characteristics classic to wool, but what makes Merino wool different is the luxurious softness and comfort provided by the fine diameter Merino fibers.
Unlike traditional wool, Merino wool does not itch and is shrink-treated to hold its size and shape even after repeated washing.
The superfine Merino wool is very soft and not itchy – especially when the thickness of the fiber is less than 19 microns.
New Zealand Merino Wool is particularly exclusive, not only for its super fine quality, but also for the length of the fibre which adds a measure of durability to the product.
