ABOUT MERINO  Merino wool is one of nature’s greatest gifts, endowed with remarkable properties by Mother Nature and the Merino sheep’s need to adapt to the extreme conditions of New Zealand’s high-altitude environments.    Our Merino fiber is warm, lighter than traditional wools, soft, easy to wear and care for, and its natural odor-suppressing qualities are legendary. Best of all, the fibers in the fabric lock in warm air to insulate against cold, and release the warmer air as activity or conditions change to keep the body temperature at a constant, comfortable level.  The felted Merino used in our dog jackets also has a moderate level of wind and water resistance.   Natural Merino is a fabulous alternative to synthetic insulation such as fleece products that can become scratchy and smelly over time and may not breathe or warm as well when conditions change.
