Proof of the attributes of Australian Merino

The Australian Merino fibre has a remarkable range of natural attributes. In this section, through being introduced to some of its physical and chemical properties, you’ll find out why.

You’ll learn how the fineness of the Merino fibre makes it soft, and provides great insulation, how its scales make it water repellent and help resist stains, how its ability to absorb moisture aids breathability and contributes to odour resistance, how its elasticity delivers excellent drape and eliminates wrinkles, and more.

To get the scientific proof that underlies the benefit, simply click on the attribute that interests you, or select from the drop down list below.
