The history of Biella can be traced back to 1245, with a rich heritage of artisan weavers having wonderful skill and a passion to weave beautiful cloths. These cloths were woven in yarns spun from the fleeces of Biellese sheep, which were relatively coarser micron. In 18th century, woolen fabrics were coarser, chunkier and heavier and weaving techniques too were not sophisticated as a result the fabrics had a raw touch to them. 19th century saw developments in the textile industry with merino wool from Australia entering the textile space and by the 20th century, merino wool garments became more refined, smoother, smarter and more luxurious.
Moda Biella features superfine merino fabrics and luxury worsteds available in exotic wool blends, with finer micron, finer quality, better handle and drape than before. Today the Moda Biella’s wool comes from the Merino sheep in Australia, New Zealand or Tasmania.
