Beautifully soft superfine merino wool from the Tasmanian Midlands, which is ethical, sustainable and traceable, and comes in a range of solid and variegated colour ways inspired by the landscape. The finest fleece of Saxon Merinos (17-microns) is spun to reduce pilling and improve wear creating a high quality yarn. The luxury and strength of Tussah silk is added to the 4 ply Fingering sock yarn, 5 ply Sport, and the 10 ply Aran (optional), adding a lustre and heathered quality. This also reinforces the sock yarn. White Gum Wool produces all natural, soft yarns with respect for the environment and the sheep. If you want a soft, high quality yarn with good stitch definition that is also ethically produced, you can’t go past White Gum Wool.
