Super 240’s Merino Wool The Worlds Finest

Coming to a customer you know soon – Super 240’s (11.7 micron) merino worsted cloth from Holland & Sherry.
Our Holland and Sherry weaving mill is delighted to share with You the exciting news of receiving 308 pounds of the finest merino wool that we have ever processed as a company.
The wool was purchased in Australia some 12 months ago from Pyrenees Park farm, located one hour inland from Melbourne, Victoria.  Pyrenees Park farm has been a partner of
Holland & Sherry and for some years and is well renowned for winning the finest wool in the world competition on multiple occasions.
The wool which we have purchased has been classified at clip (shearing) as 11.7 micron or Super 240’s.  This extraordinary merino wool has been scoured, dyed and combed. 
It is now going into spinning, followed by weaving and finishing at the Holland & Sherry mill.
Over the next 2 months the wool will be processed with great care, being moved along from machine to machine to create what we believe to be the finest and truly most luxurious
worsted wool cloth in the world.
Holland and Sherry will only yield from the 308 pounds enough cloth to make just 100 suits and blazers.   These will be sold throughout the world, with You getting the first opportunity
to sell what will truly be the ultimate in both luxury and exclusivity.  We are working on the designs now and they will be classic and so as to maximize the opportunity of the available merino wool.  
Here are some photographs to show you our progress on this wonderful project up to now.

elasticity and memory to retain its shape and recover more quickly between each wearing.

photographs and update you on our progress.
