Beautiful wool and very happy with the colour Buttermilk. Easy to work with and I am making the Nurture Eyelet Blanket.
Looking forward to seeing our newest grandchild wrapped up in this cosy, soft blanket.

Beautiful yarn!! The texture and softness crochets really nicely and the fleck adds another dimension. I highly recommend this yarn.

This is such a soft and delicious yarn to knit with. It’s such a great yarn I couldn’t put my project down. As a result this tee was knit in about a week!

The 50/50 cotton wool blend is ideal as a fabric for a menapausal women, or a woman that runs warm. Great feel, drapes well and suits a garter stitch fabric.

I started buying my wool from Bendigo woollen mills when they started selling and have primarily used this wool for all my knitting and crochet for the last 40+ years. I recommend it to anyone who comments on my jumpers, cardigans and other crafts. I cannot recommend the wool highly enough.

Very soft feel looking forward to knitting with it but seems a bit thin for a 8 ply yarn so maybe I will crochet with but I really like the quality of the yarn.

Started a review to you and it disappeared off my screen, so here goes again , at the moment I'm knitting Nurture in Buttermilk and using your pattern PT8641. so far have done the back and approx 20cm of the front. It is a beautiful yarn to handle and am very happy with results so far.

I knitted a beanie for a friend who has a shaved head so it was important that it not cause irritation as can happen with wool. Nurture was an absolute pleasure to knit with, very soft and the recipient is more than happy with the result!
