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.

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!

Disappointed with the colour. It's more grey than light mauve which is what I was hoping for. It is sometimes difficult to see the true colour of the yarns on the computer.

So soft and the colour is beautiful. I have never been disappointed in my Bendigo Woollen purchases.

Please please please release some more colours of this range! I’m obsessed. The yarn is so incredibly soft and easy to work with, crocheting with it creates a lovely drape and structure at the same time. Perfect balance of warmth but not too much. I’d love some more vibrant shades.

This is such a lovely yarn to work with. It is soft, it doesn't split, and it is beautiful to wear with a great mix of drape and structure. The more colours you produce, the more I'll buy!! Love it.

I love the texture and softness of nurture yarn. The combination of Merino and Cotton is a great mix. Nurture knits up beautifully. The gauge is perfect, which finishes with a nicely fitted garment. The yarn allows garments to be complied for seasonal wear, not just winter.
