Merino wool comes from one of the world's most ancient breeds of sheep, as well as one of the toughest. Merino sheep usually live in extreme weather. Domesticated in Australia and New Zealand, the Merino breed originated in Spain. In summer, the thin Merino's coat is light and breathable, keeping them cool at 95 degrees F. In winter, they grow an extra layer of wool over their regular base coat. This adds extra protection at -4 degrees F.
