Testimonials - Merino

To date, numerous members of the SRS® Group have contributed wool to fill NewMerino® direct supply orders with customers overseas. Four growers have individually supplied over 100 bales each. Wool has been sold in different formats with some orders going to specialized knitters supplying garment makers who in turn make up garments for brands and retailers in the outdoor /performance market. In other cases it has be supplied direct into a garment maker’s supply chain to meet the base layer/next to skin product requirements of a retail brand.

The demand for SRS® fibre has been created by brands valuing the fact that they now have trace-back to the source and can guarantee the quality and ethical/sustainable credentials of the product. All customers are extremely satisfied with the quality of the SRS® fibre and spinners have found that the wool tops always perform at the high end of the predictive scale so they get good spinning results. Good yarn then makes it easier to produce high quality circular knitted fabric for the performance/ base layer market.
