Merino wool/ nylon/ elastane blend jersey with narrow yarn-dyed stripes in dusty light and dark green.  This fabric is extremely soft and smooth for a wool jersey, with a slightly woollier reverse side that feels dry to the touch.  Has good drape and is almost opaque on the skin when unstretched.  The cut edges do curl a bit as it's a stretchy single knit.  This is deadstock from an outdoor wear brand (click here to view all fabric from this brand), suitable for clothing such as inner wear, base layers for cold weather activities, short- or long-sleeved tees, kids wear, etc.  Fabric can be machine-washed in cold water, but tumble drying is not recommended for longevity.

Wool is naturally odour-resistant, breathable, moisture-wicking (so it dries really quickly), and temperature-regulating.   I personally can't wear regular sheeps wool, but I find the wool fabrics in the shop comfortable to wear and non-scratchy.  Still, please buy with care if your skin is very sensitive.
