What is merino wool
The particularly high -quality merino wool comes from merinoos, which were originally only located in North Africa. Due to their fur, they are perfectly equipped for the extreme weather conditions in the desert climate: extreme heat during the day and extreme cold in the nights.
Merinoshafe probably came to the Iberian Peninsula in the 13th century. The kingdom of Castile in today's Spain has been known for many centuries for the trade with high -quality merino wool. Therefore, they were colloquially called "Spanish wool".
Merino wool has almost been forgotten with the advent of textiles of all kinds, but has been experiencing a big comeback for several years. The textile industry has discovered this wonderful material for functional clothing. Merino wool is not only temperature -regulating, but also water -repellent and antibacterial. She doesn't scratch and just feels pleasant.
Merinoshafe is now around the world. However, Australia has emerged as the main producer of merino wool.
