Merino
Merino wool is spun from the fleece of merino sheep. This is thought to be the oldest breed of sheep in the world, originating from the Spanish region around the 12th century.
It the softest wool yarn available, and is excellent at regulating body temperature, especially when worn against the skin. It is not scratchy, and can be worn for a long time before requiring washing.
Merino sheep need to be shorn at least once a year because their wool does not stop growing, making this a completely renewable fibre source.
The merino yarn blends we stock are mulesing free.
