Australian Merino wool is 100% natural, renewable and biodegradable, making it a responsible choice for conscious consumers. The #KnitKarl yarn has been woven at @Zegna Baruffa Lane Borgosesia in Italy.
The average micron of human hair is between 50 to 100 micron. #MerinoWool is generally less than 22 micron, which shows just how soft this premium fibre is.
Wool’s recycling industry is 200 years old, so it comes as no surprise wool has the highest share of fibres recycled, giving it a second and possibly third life, including use for industrial and automotive insulation. Discover more insights.
Unrivalled breathability, moisture management and odour control makes wool the ultimate performance fibre. We challenged three athletes to wear test wool. Find out what happened.

Darned @DavidEvans_GGL Woollen socks for first time in 34 years. Works well. Now he’s found more pairs. Have a try & you’ll get more time out of your wool. #oldfashioned#repair#recycle#reuse
The art of #repairing clothes may have declined with the rise of #fastfashion, but we believe you should love your clothes for a lifetime. You’ll get more use out of your favourite socks or sweater and it also means less #textile waste in #landfill
Oh Wool - we love ewe through the generations. So much is wonderful about this fibre. We wish more people could experience this feeling. Making something using renewable & sustainable wool & then passing it on. @Woolmark@S_Wan926#wool#sustainability
This sweater my Ma gave me yesterday. It was knitted in 1920s or early 1930s. I shall be the fourth generation of my family to have worn it. Knitted by a friend for my great grandmother, handed down to my grandmother then passed on to my mother & now finally to me. #LoveWool
"Consider your average farmer, they've got 40 to 45 seasons to put the kids through school, save for retirement and be the solution for climate change, despite allegedly being the problem, and along the way feed nine billion people." great quote from Alistair Handley,CCS
More than half of all textiles produced each year include plastic. Production of polyester alone has multiplied 10 times since 1980. Now the urgent search is on for a more sustainable way to clothe the world. https://t.co/2lDM8MRUrm

I have knitted many projects since I took it up in October & I now know that best part is when I steam it to finish off - I’m back in the shearing shed. The smell is perfect. Natural & comforting. #wool#knitting#australian
Every year, the Aussie wool industry sequesters 150,000 tons of organic carbon in wool fleeces... every year. The more sheep we run, the more carbon we sequester. What a brilliant story, what an amazing animal. @troysetter@afsnsw@AgForceQLD@WoolProducers@Norrie_TL@MarkQCL
