Merino wool/ elastane yarn dyed jersey in an aqua blue and cream marl (looks blue-green overall).  This fabric is soft and springy in the hand, and feels cosy and quite dry to the touch.  It has some drape with a bit of structure to it.  Cut edges do curl a little as it's a single knit.  Slightly translucent.  This is deadstock from an outdoor wear brand, suitable for clothing such as hiking base layers, thermal wear, jersey cardigans, short or long-sleeved tees, camisoles, sleepwear, kids wear, etc.  Leftover fabric can be used for small items such as underwear or buffs.  Wool is naturally odour-resistant, breathable, moisture-wicking (so it dries really quickly), and temperature-regulating.  I find that this weight of wool jersey can also be worn in Singapore as short-sleeved tees, or on cooler days/ in air-conditioned environments as long-sleeved tops and cardigans.

Merino wool is finer than regular sheeps wool.  I personally can't wear regular sheeps wool at all, but I find these merino wool fabrics comfortable to wear and not scratchy - still, please buy with care if your skin is very sensitive.
