Escorial is a rare and luxurious wool from a small sheep originating from the Spanish Royal flocks of El Escorial, that were taken in 1829 to New Zealand by a Scottish lady, Eliza Furlong.

 

Today, Escorial sheep are only to be found in small numbers in Australia and New Zealand.

 

The Escorial difference is in the heart of the fiber, performing as a naturally coiled spring.

 

The Escorial fiber is like a curled spring and when stretched throughout production processes its natural memory is to return to the original curled state.

 

This flexible characteristic and natural elasticity creates a fabric that is incomparable in drape, resilience, and lightweight with a distinctive soft handle.

 

The suppleness and fluidity of the Escorial fabric delivers a garment of comfort and excellent performance.
