Botany Yarns

Botany Yarns
BOTANY YARNS
Super woollen yarns, made on the worsted principle, from high-class wools known as merinos. Wools are graded from 28's to 100's and the qualities above 60's are the merinos. They are full, soft and durable, and used for the best suitings and dress goods. The term botany is only applied to those yarns which are of 60's quality or over.
