German Merino Light

German Merino wool is light and airy. It’s well suited for every project, especially cosy warm pullovers and winter clothes. The knitted clothes are very warm and have a natural look.

The natural merino wool originates from the alpine uplands in the south of Germany. It’s spun in a small spinning mill owned by a family in the 3rd generation. They get the wool from the local shepherds in the surroundings. So the wool is from the breeding of the sheep to the dyed yarn completely made in Germany.

The spinning mill attaches great importance to sustainability, so for example, they don’t waste any wool during the process, all unusable or dirty wool is pressed into pellets and can be used as a biological fertiliser. Also, all buildings and water are heated by wood pellets.

The sheep roam the meadows of the alpine uplands and are only in the shelter when there is too much snow or after shearing. They change the meadows several times a day. Usually, the farmers let them graze on their lands because they fertilise the ground and keep the grass short.
