A cloud of wool.

Select a product

Soft as a cloud, precious in its purity: carded extra fine merino wool represents one of the most authentic expressions of natural luxury. The extraordinary fineness of its fibers gives an enveloping softness that is gentle on the skin, while the carding process enhances its volume and lightness. The result is a living, airy and deeply sensory material, capable of retaining heat with natural elegance and adapting to the body with absolute comfort.

Availability and packaging
Our extra fine merino carded wool is available in 100 g, 500 g, 1 kg packages by color. Each package has a natural tolerance of ±3%. The different packages are designed for both those who need small quantities and those who need large quantities and/or want to save money. The packages are generally vacuum-packed, reducing volume and lowering shipping costs. Don’t worry: once opened, the wool returns to its original, fluffy volume without any loss of quality.

Extra fine carded merino wool.
Composition: 100% wool
Microning: about 19 microns.

Carded extra fine merino wool appears as an open, soft and voluminous fiber, characterized by a less than perfectly parallel arrangement of fibers. This carding process preserves air within the structure, giving the material a fuller, softer and fluffier hand than combed.

The fineness of the fibers-among the finest in the woolen landscape-guarantees:

  • High softness and no stinging effect
  • natural elasticity, typical of merino wool
  • thermoregulating capacity, thanks to the wavy structure of the fiber

It feels warm, soft and enveloping to the touch, with a slightly more "textural" and three-dimensional texture.

From a technical point of view, carding makes this fiber particularly suitable for:

  • bulky and soft yarns
  • felt and needle felting processing
  • Full, lightweight and insulating textile creations

Our extra fine merino wool comes from selected South American farms particularly from countries such as Argentina, Uruguay and Chile, areas with a long tradition of sheep farming and high quality standards in textile fiber production. In these regions, the practice of mulesing is not widespread and, in fact, merino wool is naturally mulesing-free. This means that animals are raised according to methods that do not involve this intervention, thanks in part to local climatic and environmental conditions that reduce the risk of parasitic infestations responsible for its introduction in other areas of the world.

South American merino wool is valued for:

  • Fiber fineness and uniformity, ideal for spinning and felting
  • Good elasticity and strength, which facilitate processing
  • Consistent high quality through genetic selection programs and controls throughout the supply chain
  • Ethical origin, with increasing attention to animal welfare and sustainability

Our merino wool is mulesing-free, meaning it comes from farms that do not practice mulesing, a surgical procedure used in some parts of the world to prevent parasitic infestations in sheep. The choice to use wool from supply chains that exclude this practice reflects our commitment to animal welfare and more responsible farm management.

The dyes used for our products meet the requirements of the OEKO-TEX standard, which guarantees the control and limitation of substances potentially harmful to human health and the environment.
Fiber dyeing is carried out in our dyehouse in Italy, in compliance with current European regulations on chemicals and environmental safety, including the REACH Regulation (EC No. 1907/2006), which governs the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemical substances.
Operating within the European Union also entails compliance with additional provisions on environmental protection and textile product safety, such as the CLP Regulation (EC No. 1272/2008), relating to the classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures. This regulatory framework ensures that dyeing processes are conducted according to high standards of safety, traceability and environmental responsibility, offering a reliable product for both the end user and the environment.

CAUTION: All our colors tend to have high fastnesses to light and washing. However, dark and bright colors, in the presence of alkaline or very aggressive soaps and prolonged processing/washing, may show even significant color loss. For materials dyed with these types of colors, we therefore recommend that a small sample be processed and washed before the final design is made. This is absolutely essential in case these materials are combined with raw or light-colored materials. In addition, it is a good idea never to dry artifacts in direct sunlight but in semi-shade.
