Cheap merino alert UK

While shopping this morning I noticed that Aldi's ski clothing special buys will include merino base layers, and zip and roll neck tops. Due in store this Thursday.
I bought a merino top from them a few yeras ago and it is warm and seems durable.

I often have read on this forum of clothing being sold at Aldi's, in particular Merino wool. Unfortunately I have never seen an Aldi's in my area of the US selling clothing, although I've seen a few small electric appliances for sale.

In Australia (in the parts with cooler climates, anyway) Aldi sells merino thermals every year.

They seem to sell out ultra fast! Never been lucky enough to find any.

The first, and only, time that I went, having read an advert, I was elbowed out of the way by the all male gang who were behind me at the door but ran like the dickens to get their prized items. This is a fact. Not a judgment. Nor a gender insult. Just a fact. Younger than me people able to scoot directly to the spot!
I have noted though that this Thursday it ought to be a feature in the local Aldi. I won't be competing.

Here was my introduction to the Australian Aldi Merino Sale a few years ago. Read it and have a good laugh! @Geraldcarey is one good storyteller!

Aldi merino wool isn’t a particularly fine grade and I find it itchy and irritating on my skin.
Whereas (considerably) more expensive brands such as Icebreaker or Wool& are lovely to wear.
There are 5 basic grades of merino wool, and around 50 grades in total.
Aldi merino is a low grade hence the low price.
