Note: This fabric is only recommended for base layers or underwear (i.e. clothing which will be hidden) as it has colour defects.  There are lighter-coloured patches scattered throughout the fabric.  Please see 5th photo for an example.  Fabric is 50% off because of this.

Merino wool/ nylon/ elastane blend jersey in a slightly soft, light turquoise green colour with a subtle marled effect.  This fabric is smooth, soft, very fine-textured, and feels slightly dry to the touch.  Has fairly good drape.  Slightly translucent over contrasting colours.  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).  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.
