Merino melír

Merino wool comes from sheep of the Merino breed, which originates from Spain. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Merino sheep began to spread to other countries, especially South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Today, Australia and New Zealand are the largest producers of Merino wool in the world. The natural antibacterial structure of the wool prevents the growth of bacteria and the formation of unpleasant odours. The fibre is elastic and holds its shape well. It is mainly used for producing luxury fine clothing, premium knitwear, thermal underwear, and for hand knitting or felting.
