“As an ex-ballerina closeted in the indoor world for so many years I now love all sorts of outdoor activities at home in SE Queensland, I run, bike, swim or paddle every morning and I also love heading off on rock climbing road trips to destinations around the world. ”
Beginning her athletic career in the 1980’s as a professional ballet dancer with the National Ballet of Canada and the San Francisco Ballet as a Principal Dancer, Sabina’s most recent passion is climbing. When she’s not scaling a cliff she stays equally as active by running, cycling or paddle boarding in her backyard, Australia. Sabina also loves travel and adventure and particularly enjoys introducing others to foreign places and cultures, whether it’s trekking in the Himalayas of Nepal and India, or just day hiking up local trails near home.

While Merino is an amazing natural fibre, not all Merino fabrics are created equal. At ioMerino, we make our own fabrics, using only the best quality fibres, and to very specific specifications that make the most of the natural benefits of Merino. All of them are 'Merino rich’. No cheap blends passed off as Merino. No cheaper scratchy fibres or synthetic substitutes to save money. No unethical production. And each fabric is made for a specific purpose. So if you see something with a small amount of elastase or nylon added, you can be sure it absolutely needs to be there to enhance the natural stretch and durability.
It took every bit of our 140 years of experience in the wool industry to perfect our fabrics, but we think you’ll agree the end result was more than worth the effort.
