From the Merino Sheep – reared in Australia and New Zealand. This natural fibre produces super soft wool with a finer-than-normal wool fibre (less than 20 microns). Merino is has excellent tensile strength, thus hard wearing, whilst being light weight and naturally stretchy. Merino also has excellent thermal properties and unlike conventional wool does not 'itch'. Merino also has excellent wicking properties which mean that it will drawn moisture away from the foot more quickly than other fibres. Merino wool is easy care – it can be machine washed and tumble dried.
