Australian merino wool promotions body The Woolmark Company has worked with long-term partner Shandong Nanshan Textitle Apparel Company to develop new yarns for sports apparel.

They have developed fibre-stretching technology that pre-stretches merino wool fibres before spinning. This has allowed them to develop yarns that are particularly suitable for weaving wind- and water-resistant fabrics without any chemical treatments.
