Social Engineering at it's best - the Merino sheep was shipped from Spain to Australia by, as usual, the British where it became Extrafine Merino because it was even happier there.
These days the fibre ends up in Northern Italy where it is caressed (as most things are in Italy) by the sweet, cold, Alpine water.
We only ever use Italian spun Extrafine Merino yarn in our knitwear - it is the best, the very, very best to create this v neck merino wool jumper.
It will be your best friend if you take care of it - hand wash it and never tumble dry it and then give it a lovely warm iron - it will look as good as new for years.
Famous for it's soft handle, beautiful colours and light weight warmth - perfect for 21st C living - so far sighted those old Brits (although they originally took them to eat.)
care & content: hand wash please, dry flat, warm iron, enjoy. 100% Extrafine Merino Wool, Spun In Italy.
