Knitting Wool & Yarn

Shop knitting wool and yarn in New Zealand for your next handmade project. Our range includes natural undyed wool from Black Hills, Crucci wool, alpaca and mohair yarns, Ashford double knit, Touch Yarns, Ad Maiora mohair and merino, and upcycled merino and possum yarn from Weft Knitting Co, in weights from fine 4 ply to super chunky 18 ply.

New Zealand wool is known worldwide for its quality. Pure wool yarn is warm, durable and easy to knit, making it ideal for jumpers, hats and blankets. Merino knitting wool is finer and softer, so it suits baby garments and next-to-skin wear. Merino possum yarn adds a soft halo and extra warmth, while alpaca and mohair blends bring drape and sheen. Natural coloured, undyed wool keeps the true shades of the sheep, from cream to grey and brown.

Choose your ply to suit your pattern. 4 ply and 8 ply (double knit) are all-round weights for garments and baby wear, 10 ply and 12 ply knit up faster for jumpers and throws, and 14 ply and chunky yarns are perfect for quick blankets, beanies and statement cardigans. Buy enough from the same dye lot to finish your project. We also stock knitting kits for beginners and gifts.
