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.

Beautiful wool to knit. It feels lovely and soft, does not split at all while knitting which makes it a delight to work with. Looks luxurious when knitted up. Highly recommend. Wish I had found it sooner.

It is a yarn that is easy on your hands to knit, which means more even stitches (have issues with my fingers) it seem to go further that the average recommendation on the pattern. The colour is wonderful.

Heat yarn, perfect shade for the pattern in mind. A little bit of fleck and shading in neutral tonings
Another great bundle to enjoy knitting with.

I love this merino, Rust Tweed wool because it is soft , has great stitch definition. I love the 4ply for my colour work jumper projects. I choose this particular wool from Bendigo because it is not treated with a synthetic chemical as a superwash wool.

I love this company and their high quality products. I recommend them to everyone.
