WHAT IS MERINO WOOL?

This highly prized wool comes from Merino sheep. Originating in Spain, Merino sheep were introduced to Australia in 1797, and through selective breeding developed the super-fine authentic Merino Wool, with all its unique qualities, that we know today.

Merino Wool is made by spinning the fleece sheared from Merino sheep into yarn, which is then used to create our fine knit collection. Spun in Italy by two of the best yarn makers worldwide, our Merino Wool is a pioneer for quality and innovation in the spinning and knitwear industry.
