Good afternoon everybody! !! It’s hot every day in the summer too… Have you been hit by the heat?!

Please hydrate everyone diligently.

Speaking of hydration, in the hot summer, chilled beer feels about five times as delicious as usual! !! But sometimes you forget to put it in the fridge. At that time. .. .. Do you know how to instantly cool an unchilled lukewarm can of beer? ?? Yes! !! I will introduce you! First, spread ice in the bowl. Then rotate the can on the ice like a tire. Then, it is a moment. It becomes Kinkin’s beer in an instant. Please give it a try! (I say it’s a moment, but please turn it for a minute.) Then, let’s go to a blog that has nothing to do with cold beer!

The theme this time is Extra Fine Merino, which is also the brand name of a certain global fast fashion brand.

What is this? Feels better than regular wool? What is different from normal wool?

I will answer such questions.

First of all, from the meaning of this word.

What is Micron??

Micron is a unit of fiber thickness, and the smaller the number, the thinner and more supple the fiber. It looks like this when it is a symbol → µ

* By the way, the English-Japanese translation of Micron is one millionth of a meter.

So what is Extra Fine Merino Micron? ??

It’s the relationship between the quality name of wool and Micron

Strong merino 23-25 ​​micron

Fine Merino 20-22 Micron

Extra Fine Merino 18.5-19.5 Micron

Super Extra Fine Merino 16.5-17.5 Micron (cashmere grade)

And wool is ranked like this according to the thickness.

summary

Extra fine merino is thinner and more supple than regular wool. Therefore, when it becomes a product, it produces a smooth texture and lightness.

Then this time around here. Thank you for your relationship.

I look forward to working with you next time.
