Finally no more moths in the merino wool
PERO, a wool yarn doped with scent, is the world's first wool yarn with built-in reliable protection against feeding by pesky clothes moths (Tineola bisselliella). The process of protecting wool against insects has been developed by Strick Zella in recent years and is patented now. For this purpose, the ultra-fine merino wool fibers are mixed with Lyocell fibers in a very small proportion (3%).
