Micron
Ever wondered why some Merino wool feels like a warm hug while others feel like a prickly cactus by lunchtime? It all comes down to the micron — the measurement of a wool fibre’s diameter. The smaller the number, the finer the fibre, and the softer it feels against your skin.
Not sure where to start? Use this guide to find the perfect softness, feel, and warmth that’s just right for you.
| Micron Category | Diameter (Microns) | Primary Market Use |
|---|---|---|
| Ultrafine Merino | 14.6µm – 16.5µm | High-end luxury apparel and knitwear |
| Superfine Merino | 15.1µm – 18.5µm | Suiting, premium base layers, and fine yarn |
| Fine Merino | 18.6µm – 20.5µm | General apparel, sportswear, and weaving |
| Medium Merino | 20.6µm – 24.5µm | Heavy knitwear, blankets, and carding wool |
| Strong Merino | 24.6µm+ | Furnishings and heavy-duty textiles |
