THE world's finest ever bale of merino wool, measuring an amazing 11.4 microns and of superior quality has been produced by ultrafine wool producers Robert, Pamela and Bradley Sandlant of Pyrenees Park, Victoria.
Ted Wilson, superfine wool specialist for Landmark-Jackson, Geelong expects the world's leading manufacturers of exclusive and elite fabrics to show a keen interest in the 11.4 micron bale when it is offered at auction in Melbourne on March 17. Mr Wilson said the record bale, weighing 100 kilograms with a yield of 76.4 per cent and a staple strength of 36 N/kt, is a reflection of the skill, dedication and commitment of the Sandlant family in producing the world's finest wool. "The natural fibre market is a massive market globally but few fibres can replicate the unique characteristics of ultrafine wool."
