A Timeless Woollen Yarn with Character

Made from high-quality Australian wool with a dash of tweedy flecks, this yarn brings a natural, timeless feel to your projects.

With subtle heathering and a rich range of earthy shades, this hand-wash yarn adds texture and depth to your knits, making each piece a one-of-a-kind creation. It’s perfect for those who appreciate the rustic charm of traditional wool textures.

Our Rustic Tweed 8 Ply yarn brings together the qualities of two favourite previous Bendigo Woollen Mills yarns – Rustic and Tweed – to create a unique, textured yarn that celebrates traditional craftsmanship.

Also available in 4 ply and 10 ply.

Why Choose?

Rustic, Handspun Texture: The untreated wool fibres & fingering twist of this subtly heathered yarn gives it a soft, rustic feel. 

Durable & Practical: Made from hand-washable wool, this yarn is designed for longevity, making it ideal for creating durable garments and accessories.

Versatile 8 ply Weight: This versatile 8 ply (DK weight) yarn is suitable for a wide range of patterns, from cosy garments to stylish accessories.

Rich Colours: With a striking range of earthy, rich shades, the depth of colour in this top-dyed yarn is unparallelled. 

Tweed Flecks: Each shade includes neps (contrasting fibres that are spun into the yarn) in either earth tones or multi-coloured flecks, adding visual interest and timeless charm.

I just LOVE this wool, its a dream to crochet with! I am in the process of making each family member their own blanket - various sizes and stitches. I really enjoy using this wool, as its easy to crochet with and gives my projects a unique look and finish. I love the flecks of colour! I am new to the craft, but I can recognise quality when I see it.

Have been using this yarn for a very long time and I highly recommend it.
It doesn’t pill and wears extremely well. I love the neps through the wool giving it a very rustic appeal.
