"Dark Hazards" is a premium Tasmanian merino wool grown in Northern Tasmania from non-mulesed animals and meticulously hand-dyed, skein by skein, in Hobart Wool Co's Hobart wool store.  

Hobart Wool Co's Pure Merino Wool Non-Superwash (Hand Washable) Yarn is made from 100 per cent Tasmanian-grown and Australian-processed and spun pure merino wool.

This yarn has not been superwashed. This means it has retained its natural, scaly surface fibres, offering superior stitch definition, bounce, texture, warmth and durability, making it perfect for colour- and cablework. It is also sourced from non-mulesed animals, making it both an ethical and sustainable choice. 

Dark Hazards is a bold colourway featuring the strong browns, reds, pinks, and greys of the mountain range located between Coles Bay and Freycinet National Park on Tasmania's gorgeous East Coast. This colourway is a "one-off" - the happy result of a mistake while dying "The Hazards" and will not be repeated.

Our 8 Ply / DK Weight Pure Merino Wool Non-Superwashed Yarn is sturdy yet flexible with superior stitch definition properties. It is ideal for use in heavier jumpers, blankets, cosy beanies and hats, and thick socks, particularly those featuring colour- and cablework.

You are purchasing one skein of yarn weighing approximately 100 grams; photographs are for illustrative purposes only.
