What is Merino wool?
Merino wool is one of the most popular and highest quality types of wool in the world. It comes from Merino sheep, which are mainly native to Australia and New Zealand. This wool has numerous positive properties that make it the perfect choice for a variety of designs and projects.
Merino wool is a natural fiber obtained from Merino sheep. Unlike conventional wool, Merino wool is particularly fine and soft, which makes it extremely pleasant on the skin. The fibers are much thinner than other types of wool, which contributes to their exceptional suppleness.
