Try contacting the Fabric Store ....<br />http://www.thefabricstore.com.au/our-fabrics is the page with the merinos... good luck! :)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432018953404985645.post-65000951809097724122012-10-04T19:45:49.204-05:002012-10-04T19:45:49.204-05:00I do know that I bought merino wool and the wonder...I do know that I bought merino wool and the wonderful qualities of this fabric are listed on the attached labels (machine washable, resists odours, quick-drying, breathable, sustainable resource, and locally made). It would be wonderful to find this fabric in a store. It is soft and lightweight. Sigh. <br /><br />Maybe I did come across as being too picky but I feel that comfort is more than fabric that keeps you very warm and dry. I think fit plays a role there too and these do not fit well. That is why they are going back to the store. <br /><br />Besides, I didn't buy them to go hiking in the mountains. Although that does sound lovely. I live in the Canadian prairies (it is flat out here) where it can occasionally get a wee bit chilly and I'll have a few outdoor recess duties to work through.

There is no way...Sorry, but you bought merino wool. There is no way on this earth that you will find that fabric in any fabric store because it's used for functional T-shirts for mountaineers and climbers.<br />And if it was cheap, you got yourself a very lucky find, even though the sleeves are a bit off. A simple merino shirt usually costs 100 EUR. It's a special fabric that's extremely thin, keeps you very warm, dries super fast and doesn't smell bad when you sweat.<br />So, I would just be happy with my merino, go hiking and forget about that half inch that don't make anyway no difference in the mountains.Irachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131826913776168717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432018953404985645.post-80084672678839590552012-10-03T20:30:24.184-05:002012-10-03T20:30:24.184-05:00These certainly are 2 dud tops!
