Merino wool blend jersey in bright watermelon pink - mainly wool with a small amount of nylon and elastane.  This fabric is smooth for wool, very soft and fine-textured, with a somewhat plush hand-feel.  Has moderate drape with a touch of structure to it, and is opaque on the skin.  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 base layers, tees, tops, and sleepwear.  Leftover fabric could be used for small items such as underwear or buffs.  Fabric can be machine-washed in cold water, but tumble drying is not recommended for longevity.  Swatches are available - please leave a note at check-out if you would like one.

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.
