Merino wool

Woolmark presents merino wool as a fiber of ovine origin, obtained from merino sheep. On a label, this information identifies the material and should be read alongside the rest of the composition. The catalog distinguishes this fiber from techniques such as ribbing or twill: one tells you what the garment is made of, while the others describe how its surface is constructed.
