merinos
Fine wool producers
Merinos are sheep of a breed prized for exceptionally fine, soft wool.
The term extends to the wool itself and to fabrics made from it: a merino sweater, merino base layers for hiking.
Merino wool is valued for warmth, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties.
The singular is merino.
