Merino wool: with Adriafil you are sure to get the best quality

Did you know that merino wools are not all the same?
The term Merino identifies the breed of the sheep, not the quality of the fiber. It might even be poor! You notice the difference with time and use.

This difference is called quality, a word in which many others are enclosed: care of production processes, controllability of origins, selection of the best raw material.

If making a handmade garment gives you emotions (and satisfaction), if you like the feeling of comfort on the skin, if you invest time and money in a new knitting project but don’t want to have any nasty surprises, you can’t do without these requirements and you must rely on those who have been selecting fibers for over a century, with experience and passion.

Think about it: only a wool that gives you these guarantees deserves to end up on your needles and on your skin… or on your little ones’ skin!

With us you are safe, because our main goal is your satisfaction.

Adriafil always means a guarantee of quality

Adriafil experts select only the best wools coming from young animals, therefore more elastic, softer and more resistant, taking them from the shearing of the belly, which is the area of ​​the animal most protected from atmospheric agents and wear.

The hair of a merino sheep is thinner than the hair of a “common” sheep. The finer a fiber, the more the resulting yarn will gain in softness and silkiness.

Adriafil merino wool varieties offer a fiber whose fineness has a very low value (less than 19.5 microns). Higher micronages indicate common and coarse wools.

This is how you recognize quality merino wool: Adriafil merino wool does not pinch on the skin!

When Adriafil team selects merino wool, it not only takes into account the fineness of the fiber but also the color, making sure that they are above all free of “impurities”, such as black hairs and similar: because the more the fiber is naturally white, the more the colors in dyeing phase will be vivid.

We carefully choose farms equipped with state-of-the-art technology, in which careful protocols are followed for which the animal is respected and in which all the regulations required by law in terms of environment and health are followed.

Particular care in the twisting phase also characterizes the special twist of Adriafil merino wools, which increases the performance of the fiber both in terms of functionality and look.

Why is merino wool one of the fibers we prefer to make our knitting yarns?

Merino (or merinos) wool is so called because it is the fiber obtained from shearing the fleece of merino sheep, a variety of sheep whose wool is particularly sought after due to its fineness.

To withstand the cold in winter, but also to regulate body temperature all year round, the coat of merino sheep is made up of a specific type of particularly fine and curled hair. The wavy structure of these hairs causes the fibers to create air chambers between them that serve to trap body heat, reducing its dispersion and heat exchange.

That’s it: nature is the best example in many fields, including clothing!
