Hobart Wool Co's Pure Merino Wool Machine Washable Yarn is made from 100 per cent pure merino wool for superior softness, comfort, warmth, stretch, and breathability. Our yarn does not hold odour and can be washed by hand or by machine, making it perfect for everyday use.

Our Limited Edition Esmerelda emerald green yarn is a vibrant, semi-solid colourway. Whether used on its own or in combination with a complementary variegated shade, this is a truly gorgeous luxury yarn that is a delight to work with.
Our 2 Ply / Lace Weight Pure Merino Yarn is a super strong yet soft lace yarn that can be used to make wraps, shawls, gloves, and other intricate or flowing garments. It can also be held with other yarns to create different textures and colourways.

Our 4 Ply / Fingering Weight Pure Merino Yarn is silky soft with a gorgeous drape making it perfect for use in shawls, scarves, and cowls, as well as in socks, baby clothes, and other lighter-weight garments and accessories.

Our 8 Ply / DK Weight Pure Merino Yarn is sturdy yet flexible and oh so soft, making it ideal for use in heavier jumpers, blankets, cosy beanies and hats, and thick socks.
