YARN Nz Kereru Merino Leggings – Dark Grey Wardrobe

Lightweight merino leggings in dark grey.

All the pieces in the Kereru collection are made using super lightweight 100% ‘extra fine’ grade merino wool. Merino is sometimes known as ‘Summer wool’. Merino is naturally absorbent and deodorising, making it perfect for summer. Whether it’s the humidity of the rainy season, sweaty summer days or the sudden blast of cold from an air-conditioned room, merino wool adapts to sudden changes in the environment to help the body stay comfortable throughout summer. ⠀

Sustainability
ZQ Merino wool producers are directly connected to brands selling Merino wool products to the markets through long-term contracts. This kind of contract also means that supply chains are fully traceable, from farmer to final product. ZQ Merino wool farmers understand the needs of the end-user and make sure they can produce wool in a sustainable manner for years to come.

Traceability
In the past, it was impossible for sheep farmers to know where wool sold at auction ended up, and what kind of products it was used in. Instead of selling in an auction, ZQ Merino wool is sold through a direct deal between the producers and the final product manufacturers. This means farmers can follow their wool on its journey right from sheep to the final product.
