This extra fine baby merino wool is spun in Italy with fibers from sheep raised on the meadows of Geelong, Australia. Only a small percentage of all Merino lambswool can be classified as Geelong due to its fine micron, making it an exclusive and desirable fibre. Compared to worsted wool, this yarn is bulkier and softer in appearance due to a particular spinning technique that involves carding the fibers so they criss-cross one another. The result is a lighter, softer and warmer yarn.
