Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) has unveiled its new Merino Perform range of extra-fine Merino performance fabrics designed for next-to-skin wear.

According to AWI, the natural qualities of Australian Merino—such as natural breathability and elasticity, odour resistance, sweat and moisture control and suitability for multi-climatic environments—mean that Merino Perform fabrics are comfortable for everyday, active and sportswear all year round.

The Merino Perform programme is a global partnership between AWI and various circular knitting companies in Australia, China, Europe, Japan, Korea and Vietnam. It plans to expand this network as demand grows.
