Yarns

Standard Issue specialises in New Zealand merino and Italian cashmere. We source the world’s best examples of these yarns and manufacture them using the latest knitting technology. 

New Zealand merino: Merino wool is widely lauded for its strength and versatility. Naturally dirt and water resistant, it creates clothing that is functional and warm. New Zealand’s lush pastures allow our sheep to grow naturally strong wool, which is spun together to create yarn with superior durability.

Italian cashmere: We source our cashmere from one of Italy’s leading mills and rigorously test each yarn to ensure the best performance. Cashmere is a luxurious and soft yarn, but it is by nature delicate and must be treated with care.

Natural yarns such as merino and cashmere breathe with the body. This means they form a microclimate around your body to keep you warm in cool weather and cool in warm weather.
