Merino refers to a breed of sheep with production areas all over the world. Merino wool produced in Australia is of the highest quality.
So what are the differences between merino wool and ordinary wool?
1. Different diameters: The finer the diameter of the wool fiber, the better the wool quality and the warmer it is. Merino wool is famous for its fineness. Its fibers are extremely fine, with a diameter of less than 19.5 microns. The diameter of the best Merino wool can even reach less than 11.7 microns, making it the finest of all wool varieties. Ordinary wool is much thicker and far less warm than merino wool.
2. Different textures: sweaters made of merino wool not only have good elasticity, but also feel very soft and delicate, and are very comfortable to wear next to the body, while sweaters made of ordinary wool will feel itchy when worn.
3. Different values: Merino wool products that have undergone special shrinkage treatment can be machine washed directly. The natural characteristics and advantages of wool will not be affected after machine washing. Proper care can maintain the good appearance of the clothes. Merino wool is known as Australia's national treasure. High-quality Merino wool can be several times the price of ordinary wool.
Therefore, once you experience Australian Merino wool, you will never wear ordinary wool again.
