New Zealand beats Australia in Merino wool challenge

17 Apr '13
4 min read

An authoritative jury that includes the presidents of the Superfine Wool Growers’ Association and by the director of the New Zealand Stud Merino Breeders Society certifies that each one respects specific characteristics of weight, length and tenacity. The Challenge Cup is thus assigned to the finest between the two. When the fibre is the finest ever produced, it earns the title of World Wool Record Bale.

Loro Piana has always purchased this bale, treasuring it as an icon, also in view of the fact that until a finer wool bale is purchased, the previous one cannot be transformed into fabric. Rare and precious as fine gemstones, the Record Bale fabrics represent the pinnacle of the production of fine wools.

They boast exclusive designs and are distinguished by a special label that documents the year of shearing, its provenience and the fibre’s finesse. Only about 40 suits, dedicated to true connoisseurs are obtained from the 150 meters of the Record Bale. The buyers of the Record Bale fabrics benefit from a pre-emption right on future allotments so as to collect, year after year, the entire gamut.
