Looking for a recycled yarn with structure, style and grit?

Harris is a tweedy yarn made for bold stitches, outerwear durability and projects that demand a little extra backbone. Spun in Italy with a rugged charm, Harris is a sturdy DK-weight (8ply) yarn crafted from 30% recycled mulesing-free wool, 25% recycled polyacrylic, 25% recycled polyester, 15% silk bourette and 5% other fibres. It offers an earthy handfeel and slubby texture, bringing tweed-like depth and character to your knits and crochet work.

For those seeking recycled yarns in Australia or wondering where to buy tweed yarn with silk, Harris is a true standout. This yarn does the heavy lifting in your wardrobe without sacrificing visual appeal.

A Yarn with a Story

Named after the iconic tweeds of Scotland, Harris delivers all the rustic elegance you’d expect from a high-quality recycled blend. The silk bourette adds tonal richness and a lightly flecked texture, while the recycled wool and poly fibres ensure durability and structure.

This yarn isn’t soft and squishy. It’s confident, grounded and practical. If you’ve been searching for recycled wool yarn in Australia with the strength for garments like vests, hats, coats or bags, this is your match. And with its mulesing-free wool, it’s a more ethical choice for wool lovers.

Why You’ll Love It

Harris is made for crafters who want to create pieces with presence - textiles that hold their shape, endure wear and showcase stitch definition. If you love texture, structure and that classic tweed aesthetic, Harris is bound to be a new favourite.

You’ll love:

The tactile, slubby texture and complex heathered shades
The sustainable fibre content made with high recycled fibre percentages
The use of mulesing-free wool for a more ethical choice
The breathability and versatility of a DK-weight tweed yarn
The Italian-spun quality and depth of colour

Spun with Purpose

Harris isn’t here to be delicate. It’s a yarn made for garments with purpose, the kind that get worn again and again. With its high recycled content and silk fibre complexity, it offers a balanced blend of eco-awareness and structural integrity.

This is slow fashion, spun for longevity. Just like all our yarns at Fancy Yarns Australia, Harris is selected not only for its beauty but for its role in crafting a more sustainable future.

Perfect For
