Merino wool's have 80% share in world.
The Merino is a breed or group breeds of domestic sheep, characterized by very fine soft wool. A Saxon Merino produces 3 - 6 kg (6.6 - 13.2 lb) of greasy wool a year, while a good quality Peppin Merino ram produces up to 18 kg (40 lb).
The world's best Merino wool comes from Australia, which provides 80% of the world's superfine wool, from woolgrowers who employ sustainable farming practices.
