This 8 ply pure Australian Merino wool yarn ticks all the boxes!

Beautiful and soft, pure wool, this wool will knit, crochet, weave or felt into a fantastic project like a shawl, beanie, scarf etc. there are a limited range of colours and skeins available. Also good for felting.

This yarn has been hand dyed using Australian made dyes right here in my little studio in the northwest coast of Tasmania.

Please know that I take care with my photos but sometimes there may be a slight difference on screens. I also take care with my dyeing but as with all hand dyed fibres there may be a little variation in the shades throughout the skein. This is quite normal.

Recommended Needle Size: 3.5 - 4.5mm (US 4 - 7) needles
Gauge (stocking stitch): 22sts x 30 rows over 10cm/4 inches
on 4mm (US 6) needles

To care for your yarns

Cool hand wash in an approved wool wash. Do not wring or agitate. Dry flat in the shade.
