WOOLLY 8PLY | Lily
WOOLLY 8PLY | Lily
I am a fun loving DK yarn that is looking to be with you for a good long time. I am practical, well wearing and my wool is proudly 100% New Zealand born and bred. I am intentionally NOT superwash treated allowing my natural wool properties to shine and I will happily biodegrade in your compost or worm farm.
I would love to become your new favourite sweater, cardi, warm blanket, snuggly scarf or trusted beanie. I'm your cozy companion!

Need some KNITSPIRATION to get your cast on?
Your knitting style is unique to you. We always recommend knitting a swatch first to ensure you achieve the correct gauge for your chosen pattern.
We do our best to give you an accurate snap of our beautiful fabric and yarn but we know (from experience) that screen displays can be misleading and nothing beats seeing and feeling it in person. This is why we offer samples for purchase, so you can feel confident in your choices.
Why I'm Better
Why I'm Better
Non-Superwash Wool is a natural, biodegradable and durable fibre with a much lower environmental impact than its superwash counterpart. Most superwash yarns have been chemically treated and coated in a layer of polymer plastic resin to make them machine washable. The process creates toxic chemical waste, is water and energy intensive and the yarn will shed microplastics during washing. Non-treated yarn embraces the natural properties of wool; it is more insulating, moisture wicking, has better elasticity and anti-bacterial properties.
