MERINO WOOL

The fibers of merino wool are much finer than other types of wool, making it softer and less likely to cause itching or irritation. It also has a natural crimp, which helps it to trap air and insulate against the cold.

Merino Wool
Merino wool is highly valued for its moisture-wicking properties, meaning it can absorb and release moisture while still maintaining its warmth. This makes it a popular choice for outdoor clothing, especially for activities like hiking and skiing. Additionally, merino wool is considered to be sustainable and eco-friendly, as it is biodegradable and renewable, and the Merino sheep are often raised using sustainable farming practices.
Merino wool from Latin America refers to wool from Merino sheep that are raised in countries such as Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Peru. Merino sheep were first introduced to South America during the colonial period by the Spanish, who established large flocks in the region. Today, Merino wool from Latin America is known for its high quality and fine texture, much like its Australian and New Zealand counterparts.
In particular, Merino wool from Argentina is highly regarded for its softness, strength, and resilience. The sheep are raised in the rugged terrain of the Andes Mountains and are known for their ability to adapt to extreme weather conditions. Chilean Merino wool is also highly sought after for its quality and is often used in high-end fashion and textile production. In addition, Uruguay is known for producing some of the finest Merino wool in the world, with fibers that are less than 19.5 microns in diameter, which is considered to be ultrafine.
Peruvian Merino wool is also gaining recognition for its exceptional quality and sustainability, with some companies focusing on using Peruvian Merino wool that is produced using natural and organic farming practices.
