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.

Hobart Wool Co's Fairy Floss Blue colourway features a subtle blend of gorgeous soft turquoises, blues, and purples, in pastel rainbow waves to create a simply beautiful yarn. Use this colourway on its own to create a unique feature piece or in combination with one of our other fantastic colourways to add colour and interest.
