Fibre Gentili

Spun from the fleece of Gentile di Lucania, an ancient Italian sheep breed celebrated for its outstanding wool quality. Outshining its counterparts on the Italian peninsula, this breed dates back to the era of the Romans, where it was already chosen for its wool's remarkable softness. The breed was initially exported to Spain and eventually found its way to Australia, where it laid the foundation for today's Merino strains.

Gentile di Lucania wool is highly regarded not only for its softness, but also for its quality fine fiber diameter, averaging around 20 microns. Traditionally, this wool has been used for crafting fine and high-quality textiles.
