The Saxon Merino breed of sheep originated in the triangle of land between Stolpen, Hohnstein and Lohmen in southern Saxony, in Germany in 1765. The Saxon Merino sheep, which provides such lustrous wool today in southern Australia and Tasmania, has its origins in the "Schäferei", namely the sheep farms in these small, rural communities, which flourished both in terms of agriculture and sheep breeding. ⁠ Discover the long and fascinating history of the Saxon Merino wool by clicking on the link in bio.⁠ #VitaleBarberisCanonico #FabricTales #TheSaxonClub

The masterfully calibrated weight guarantees the unmistakeable, perfect fluidity of the drape, enveloping those who wear it in an embrace of comfort and timeless elegance. #VitaleBarberisCanonico #TheSaxonClub
