Esquel uses Merino for added softness
Hong Kong-based Esquel Group has introduced Australian Merino wool into a range of cotton yarns to give its trans-seasonal garments a softer and more luxurious feel.
Blending Australian Merino wool and cotton, with the help of Australian Wool Innovation (AWI), Esquel has created yarns that are said to be softer to the touch and more comfortable to wear than 100% cotton. The yarns are also lighter and offer greater breathability, more elasticity and better UV protection.

AWI’s general manager key accounts and innovation Jimmy Jackson says: “The Comerino yarns are ideal for trans-seasonal garments, casual and outdoor fashion and men’s and womenswear.”
