A Spotlight On Our Yarn

Premium Yarn Bases for Every Project

Our collection features a diverse range of premium bases, primarily sourced from high-quality Australian wool. We offer various weights and plies to suit any pattern:

• High Quality Bases: Our core range uses a variety of exceptional quality yarn, including Superwash 100% Merino, a 75% Merino and 25% Nylon blend. These blends highlight the beauty of Australian Merino wool. 
• Superwash Merino and Nylon: Perfect for easy-care projects, our 4-ply and 8-ply superwash options are "squishy," hard-wearing, and machine-washable on delicate cycles.
• Luxurious Blends: For projects requiring a special touch, explore our 90% Merino 10% Silk blends, a fan-favourite for their heavenly feel and elegant drape. We also offer unique combinations like 63% Mohair and 37% Silk for ultimate luxury, with occasional releases involving Yak/Silk, and Camel/Silk blends
• High Twist Sock Yarn: Our high-twist 4-ply merino and blends provide superior stitch definition and durability, making them ideal for socks and high-wear accessories.

Artisanal Dyeing Techniques

What sets our hand-dyed wool apart is the hands-on approach to colour application. Because each skein is individually dyed, no two are exactly alike, providing a depth of colour that commercial yarns cannot replicate. Our dye styles include:

• Variegated & Speckled: Multi-colored skeins that create a playful, shifting landscape of hues as you work. Our favourites include Charlotte's Rose, and Pink Lemonade. 
• Semi-Solid & Tonal: Gentle variations of a single hue that add sophisticated texture and depth without distracting from complex stitch patterns.
• Inspired Series: Many of our colorways take inspiration from the vibrant Australian landscape such as our Blue Mountains range, or themed collections, such as our Bridgerton-inspired range.

Quality and Care

We take pride in our "low-waste" philosophy, re-skeining every batch by hand to check for faults before it reaches you.

To maintain the longevity of your projects, we recommend hand-washing in cold water and drying flat in the shade.
