The combination offers the possibilities of light, breathable and soft fabrics, keeping the wearer thermo regulated. Manufactured by Yarn in Motion (YIM), of the Südwolle Group, the prize winning ‘Ferntree’ fabric consists of 50% of each of these fibres and incorporates a new dimension in function to the natural Merino fibres.
