Jose Fernandez, CEO of Global Merino said that they are going to promote their triple plaited construction using a combination of merino wool, polyester and creora eco-soft to give consumers the best of warmth, comfort, fit, and movement targeting the cycling enthusiast.
They are also focused on their new mini terry for second layer warmth without weight plus freedom of movement for a multitude of applications such as running, skiing, hiking, etc. They are using creora eco-soft low heat set elastane to maintain the softness of the merino wool in fabric while delivering stretch and recovery for enhanced comfort and fit.
Global Merino’s process of getting fine merino wool from farm to store starts on a farm in New Zealand, Australia, or South Africa with a wool auction to wholesale agents and distributors. Global Merino then ensures the shipment of the wool to one of its contract spinning and/or weaving facilities where it is turned into fabric.
