fine wool
Soft luxury fleece
Fine wool is wool with thin, soft fibers, typically from merino sheep or similar breeds.
The fineness is measured by fiber diameter—the thinner the fiber, the finer and more valuable the wool.
Fine wool produces softer, more luxurious fabrics suitable for high-quality garments: a fine wool suit, fine wool yarn for knitting.
