Unique Environment

Haldon Range superfine wool fibre is grown in exacting conditions ideally suited to the Merino sheep breed.
These conditions are unique to the Awatere Valley of Marlborough, New Zealand - a mix of fertile valley downlands backed by steep 2,000 metre mountains - all compressed into a relatively small area.
Hot, dry summer months contrast with clear, cold winters and there is a similar contrast between lush lower pastures and tussock-covered alpine country.
Moved seasonally between extremes of topography, climate and vegetation, the Merino flock thrives to produce superfine fibre in the 10 - 16 micron range.

Objective measuring shows this fibre is amongst the very best that is available in the world.
