    “Really impressed with the quality; it wears and washes well over time. I went with the recommended medium size, and at 5'10" with a 40" chest and slim/average build, it fits like a dream (perfect length and room where needed). I'm about to use my loyalty rewards to order another one from Paul James, who never disappoints with their consistent excellence.”

    Merino Wool Yarn

    Exceptionally fine and naturally intelligent, merino wool is prized for its ability to regulate temperature while remaining soft against the skin. Designed by nature to adapt, it provides warmth in cooler conditions and breathability when temperatures rise.

    We source our chunky merino from Peru and our extrafine and superfine merino is supplied by industry favourites Zegna Baruffa (Est. 1850), Papi Fabio (Est. 1890) and Lanerossi (Est. 1817).
