Merino - what's all the fuss about?

Many people now have at least one clothing item made from Merino fibre, whether it be socks, tops or if you are lucky a pair of Solz slippers. Along with my Solz I have a cople of long sleeve tops to keep me warm in winter. So why Merino? Number one it is a natural fibre coming from the back of the merino breed of sheep known for the quality of their wool. Fibre technology has allowed this wool to be transformed into a lightweight but breathable fabric that when blended with spandex gives it great stretch capabilities. It's a washable fibre! We recommend hand washing of merino Solz, but they can be thrown in the washing machine.
