Where does Merino comes from

Merino wool comes from a special breed of sheep—Merino sheep—that have been carefully bred for centuries to produce some of the softest, finest wool in the world. These sheep originally came from Spain, but today, they thrive in the vast, open landscapes of Australia and New Zealand, where the cool mountain air and rolling pastures create the perfect conditions for their fleece to grow.

What makes Merino wool special isn’t just where it comes from, but how it’s grown. Each year, these sheep naturally regrow their fleece, providing a renewable, biodegradable fiber that’s both soft and durable.

Merino sheep are typically sheared once a year, usually in spring. This helps keep them comfortable in warmer months and ensures their wool is harvested at its best quality.

On average, a single Merino sheep produces 4 to 5 kg (8 to 11 lbs) of wool per year, but this can vary depending on the breed and environment. Some high-quality Merino sheep, especially those bred for ultra-fine wool, can yield up to 15 kg (33 lbs) in exceptional cases.

About Our Merino

We buy our Merino from local supplier as well as from India. Both of the supplier purchase the raw wool from Australia and process them in their spinning mills. Since we are purchasing directly from the spinner we have lots of flexibility on fineness of the wool as well as thickness output of the yarn.

Advantages of Merino Wool

Merino wool is highly prized for its softness, warmth, and durability. It’s also naturally moisture-wicking and breathable, which makes it an ideal choice for knitwear. Unlike other wool types, Merino wool is fine and soft, which means it can be worn directly against the skin without causing any irritation or discomfort. It also has a natural elasticity that allows it to retain its shape even after repeated use.

Raw Materials - Gauge of Merino - Rochak handknit

Gauge

Merino wool comes in a variety of microns and can be blended with other materials. However, we specifically use 100% Merino wool that is either 19 or 21 microns in diameter. Our merino yarn has a thickness of 1/2.2 Nm, which means that it is relatively fine compared to other yarns.

The Nm value represents the length of the yarn in meters per gram, with a higher Nm indicating a finer yarn. In this case, the 1/2.2 Nm value suggests that each gram of our merino yarn has a length of 2.2 meters.

Our knitting gauge for jersey knit is 20 stitches and 30 rows per 10 x 10 cm. This means that when knitting a jersey fabric using our merino yarn, you should aim for 21 stitches and 30 rows within a 10 x 10 cm area to achieve the intended fabric density and size.

Soon, we will be stocking TEC merino wool which are machine washable and are suitable for tumble drying.
