If you’ve been searching for where to buy non-superwash wool in Australia, this is the real deal: sustainably sourced, naturally insulating and made for makers who love wool in all its glory.
A Yarn with a Story
Woolly was born from a deep love of wool, not the chemically processed kind, but the soft, breathable, moisture-wicking kind that sheep have been growing for centuries.
Spun in New Zealand from 100% non-superwash wool, Woolly skips the superwash treatment and instead celebrates the natural properties of this incredible fibre. It’s warmer, more breathable and has antibacterial benefits too, all while treading more lightly on the planet.
With a palette of soft pastels, deep earth tones, rich masculine hues and playful brights, Woolly invites you to mix, match and play, whether you're colourworking or keeping it classic.
