Kenyon introduces Merino collection
American base layer apparel manufacturer for the sporting, outdoor, hunting and fishing markets Kenyon Consumer Products has launched a new range featuring Merino wool from Australian Wool Innovation.
The Kenyon Merino range utilises mercerised wool, which gives the fibre a silk-like texture. During treatment the scale structure on the fibre’s surface is removed to increase the amount of specular reflection and to improve the lustre, or brightness, of the fibre.
The new thermal apparel range currently features a men’s short sleeve top, men’s long sleeve style and thermal bottoms although the company plans to use the wool in other items including women’s wear in the future.
