merino wool
Fine fleece type
Merino wool is fine, soft wool from merino sheep, prized for its warmth, breathability, and ability to regulate temperature.
It's softer against the skin than coarser wools, making it popular for base layers and athletic wear: This merino wool sweater doesn't itch like regular wool.
The fiber wicks moisture and resists odor.
