Extra fine Merino Wool
The Extra Fine Merino wool used by Gran Sasso originates from the renowned Australian sheep breed bearing the same name. This wool is meticulously curated solely from fibres measuring less than 19.5 microns in diameter, boasting exceptional properties that contribute to unparalleled elasticity in yarn, vivid and durable colours, and an unmatched softness evident in the final garment.
Following the shearing of sheep, only the fleece sections exhibiting the finest qualities—such as finesse, moderate length, well-defined style, and minimal presence of black, coloured hairs, and plant-based fibres—are handpicked. Garments crafted from Extra Fine Merino wool exude rarity, distinctiveness, and, most importantly, enduring quality.
Gran Sasso's merino wool collection is available in a large variety of colours and styles.

world’s finest quality cashmere yarn
Gran Sasso seamlessly merges the highest-grade cashmere fibres with the expertise of seasoned artisans, crafting nothing short of the world's most exceptional cashmere yarn. Originating from goats dwelling in the lush grasslands of Inner Mongolia, their finest cashmere yarn epitomizes unparalleled quality.
Every phase of Gran Sasso's manufacturing process is infused with meticulous testing and stringent quality control measures. Their trusted cashmere suppliers meticulously scrutinize each individual bale for impurities, colour, micron thickness, and length, ensuring the highest standards are consistently met. The mastery lies in managing these critical factors, defining the handling process and ultimately delivering an unparalleled level of supreme quality in the finished product.

Featured Styles
Egyptian, Fresh Cotton
Fresh Cotton from Gran Sasso represents an evolution stemming from Egyptian cotton, embodying pristine qualities with a sharp, refined edge. Much like ice, which possesses both a smooth essence and a rough surface, Fresh Cotton embodies a clean-cut profile, untouched by pilling, shaped only by the meticulous creping process.
It seamlessly integrates top-tier Egyptian cotton with the revolutionary COM4 spinning technology, effectively eradicating any hint of pilling within the fibre. This unique outcome caters to the most discerning aesthetes and true aficionados of premium textiles.
Gran Sasso uses Fresh Cotton to craft lightweight, airy knitwear with a crisp, clean finish, which promotes fresh, natural ventilation—ideal for the summer season.
