A soft bouncy woollen yarn created with a blend of 75% Merino and 25% rare Arapawa grey fleece. All the wool is grown in the South Island of New Zealand.

The wool is washed and processed in this island too. Spun by Wild Earth mill in Christchurch. It then travels south to me in Oamaru and I dye it with wool dyes which are dye waste from our local town wool spinning mill.

It is a lovely yarn to work with whether you knit, crochet or weave with it. It is in limited supply until the sheep are shorn again.
Perfect for colourwork.
