    Patagonia endorses NewMerino

    After Graeme Black’s bleating in our newsletters for about 11 years,  it's great that NewMerino™ is getting some public endorsement from a key brand owner,  Patagonia. Patagonia, a leading outdoor clothing company acutely environmentally conscious, is very keen on NewMerino™’s chain of custody.
