Bumming a bunch of suggestions from this dude's blog post, and some other gear-queer items I've seen before:
>I think the next thing up is all this merino wool talk
I think that these three articles will provide most of the information you would want to know about Merino wool.
General overall knowledge: https://www.smartwool.com/discover/why-merino-wool/merino-wool-101.html
The "best" weights for different climates: https://www.newzealandmerinoandfabrics.com/blogs/news/which-merino-wool-fabric-weight-do-i-need-for-each-season but of course everyones body is different. I'm the kind of person who is always cold so I'll never buy a lightweight merino shirt.
Maybe a half to whole step up from general knowledge: https://woolandprince.com/pages/about-merino-wool
The only other thing I think you should know that I don't have an article for is merino wool blends. You'll undoubtedly come across a product with something like "61% Merino Wool, 36% Nylon, 3% Lycra® Spandex " like in Darn Tough's socks. That's done because 100% merino wool has downsides that other fabrics can cover when they are blended together.
But if you have any questions this is a great subreddit full of knowledgeable people :)
