"As winter sets in, many of us are turning to our cosy jumpers, snug base
layers and anything else that can take the bite out of cold mornings. That is
where merino wool shines.

It is warm, comfortable and surprisingly adaptable, making it a smart choice
for days when the weather can’t quite make up its mind.

But exactly why is it such a good material?"
