Knit for WOOL, how does it work?

Knit for WOOL? Yes please!  But how does it work? Well thanks for asking!  As this business is on the GROW I have become unable to do all of the MAKING this business needs, so that’s all the samples needed for shows, trunk shows and photo shoots.  So I need the help of my community […]

Why Polwarth Wool?

When you are choosing fibres to make the ultimate NZ wool yarns, you have some very good options – but in our humble opinion, you can’t go past the incredible fibre from our Polwarth Sheep. Our NZ bred Polwarth are very genetically similar to our famous Merino, so we can call them cousins… but the […]
