Homonym: merino (Wool)
Merino is a breed of sheep known for its fine, soft wool. Originating in Spain, these sheep are now raised in various countries, including Australia and New Zealand, where they thrive in diverse climates. The wool produced by Merino sheep is highly valued for its warmth, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, making it a popular choice for clothing and textiles.
The unique structure of Merino wool allows it to regulate temperature, keeping the wearer warm in cold conditions and cool in warmer weather. This versatility has led to its use in a wide range of products, from high-performance outdoor gear to everyday apparel.
