Le Béret Français: Merino d’Arles Naturel .1, .2 & .3

Following the enormous success of the Merino d'Arles Naturel models by Le Béret Français, we decided to extend the range with more shades in natural, undyed colours: the lighter 'ash brown' and 'heather grey'. The same quality, the same comfort and the same price.

The Bérets Merino d'Arles are natural merino berets made of undyed, natural wool of brown merino sheep from the Arles region in France.

The Merinos d’Arles produce a light fleece of only 2 kg of very fine wool in the range between 20/21 micron with a length of 5/7cm. The particularity of the Merino d’Arles fibre is its curliness; no other wool has so many bows per centimeter. This allows very light products due to its bulkiness and lightweight.

Whereas most Merino sheep are bred with a focus on pure white fleece, the original colour of the wool are shades between milk-white to brown and grey. Le Béret Français uses the darkest brown Merino wool to be found.

Handmade in small batches in Bayonne, the capital of the French Basque Country.
