    I personally won't support and don't trust '100% merino wool' from China, and I just won't buy it no matter how cheap.
    Judging from the origin statement on STP, that threshold would eliminate a bulk of theiir merino*, including Icebreaker and Ibex (from my really quick scan of their available products). Most of the Smartwool socks are USA, but "imported yarn" - and some are Korean. Perhaps older stuff from thrift stores would get you non-Chinese stuff (is China your only distrust??), but even then, you never know....

    * Of 296 items with the word "Merino" in it...100 also have "China" in the product description.
