We have developed 3 new colours with an increased fur content for extra bloom and fuzz! Azure, Firefly and Shadow available in 8ply and 4ply weights. The meterage on the 8 ply skeins has been changed from 170/50 gram to 230/50 gram. Please adjust meterage on individual stash entries. This is the same base yarn.

Made in New Zealand through a collaboration with Weft Knitting Company and Wild Earth Yarns in Christchurch.

Off-cuts from garments and yarn that don’t make it into a finished product are shredded and then sent down the road to be carded and blended with virgin merino wool and spun into a beautifully soft hand knitting yarn.
