Naturally Coloured Millspun Wool Yarn for Handknitting and Crochet

Bennett & Gregor can supply semiworsted 8 ply WirraWorra wool yarns, millspun from our own soft fleece in 12  natural shades & blends including:

  • Raven (black)
  • Wattlebark (dark grey/brown)
  • Mallee (mid grey)
  • Spinifex (silver grey)
  • Tawny Owl (shaded greys)
  • Dusky Woodswallow (cinnamon)
  • Sand Dune (beige)
  • Peppermint Gum (tweed of 3 greys)
  • Saltbush (tweed of 2 light greys)
  • Paperflower (white)
  • Gumnut (chocolate brown)
  • Gecko (fawn)

The shade names of our yarns were derived from the birds and plants of our Wirraworra Native Vegetation Sanctuary and reflect the natural, earthy shades and rustic quality of our yarns.

At present, due to a lack of spinning facilities in Australia, our stocks of yarn have dwindled in some shades. ( see gallery of shades for availability).

Plans are being made for new yarn production in New Zealand, so watch this space for exciting new yarns in future.
