The Loro Piana Record Bale Award celebrates the finest merino wool, driving quality, innovation, and global community since 1997.
The prestigious Loro Piana Record Bale Award annually honours outstanding quality and innovation in the production of ultra-fine merino wool. Since 1997, this accolade has highlighted the top farms in Australia and New Zealand that produce the planet’s finest wool bales, with exceptional micron counts below 10 microns—much finer than a human hair.

This recognition not only fosters international competition among breeders but also encourages collaboration and research to continually enhance fibre quality. Winning farms gain significant prestige and contribute to the creation of The Gift of Kings, an exclusive line of luxury garments made from this unique wool.
