THE PERFECTION OF NATURE BY TOGAS
The Peppin Brothers
The Peppin Merino sheep received their name from the surname of the brothers who were breeding sheep in Riverina, Australia at the end of the 19th century. As a direct descendant of the valuable Rambouillet breed, the Peppin Merino is now the main natural supplier of the finest premium sheep wool.
Royal refinement
The fiber diameter of Peppin cashmere is typically less than 24 microns, which is three times finer than human hair. In some cases, ultra-fine and super-fine fibers can be obtained and used in combination with silk and cashmere to achieve unique tactile sensations.
Being the finest and softest sheep wool in the world, Peppin cashmere makes up only 1% of the world’s clothing fiber production. It is a true luxury.
Depth of dreams
Immerse yourself in the warm embrace of Togas Peppin Merino cashmere and fall asleep.
Recent research conducted by scientists from the University of Sydney has shown that adults wearing woolen sleepwear would fall asleep in just 12 minutes, compared to 22 and 27 minutes for adults in polyester and cotton clothing.
The Tender Power of Warmth
Like all other types of wool, the structure of Merino wool fibers is unique. Although the structure of any wool is similar — many microscopic air pockets retain warm air inside — Merino wool has increased strength due to its special elasticity.
For 200 years now, Australian breeders have been continuing the Peppin brothers’ legacy and working on the selection of Merino wool to obtain increasingly high-quality, thin, strong, and warm wool. At Togas, we take pride in working with the best of them.
Selection for the benefit of life
Merinos have been domesticated and raised in a way that they cannot survive without regular shearing. They need to be sheared at least once a year because their wool does not stop growing. Neglecting regular grooming can cause thermal stress, mobility problems, and even blindness.
Given the mild climate of western Australia and the growth rate of Peppin Merino wool, they are sheared at our partner farms several times a year.
