Triple plaited construction

“At the upcoming OR and ISPO shows, we are promoting our triple plaited construction using a combination of merino wool, polyester and creora eco-soft to give consumers the best of warmth, comfort, fit, and movement targeting the cycling enthusiast,” commented Jose Fernandez, CEO of Global Merino.

“We are also focused on our new mini terry for second layer warmth without weight plus freedom of movement for a multitude of applications such as running, skiing, hiking, etc. We are using creora eco-soft low heat set elastane to maintain the softness of the merino wool in fabric while delivering stretch and recovery for enhanced comfort and fit.”

Global Merino

Founded in 2007 by Jose Fernandez, Global Merino internationally sources the finest of merino wools and uses contract spinners and weavers to make designed woollen fabrics for outdoor companies like Patagonia.

The process of getting fine merino wool from farm to store starts on a farm in New Zealand, Australia, or South Africa with a wool auction to wholesale agents and distributors. Global Merino then ensures the shipment of the wool to one of its contract spinning and/or weaving facilities where it is turned into fabric.
