When your world is calling out for a little more colour, sparkle and magic...craft with Whimsy!

Whimsy 8 ply combines soft, snuggly wool, with long, gentle colour gradients and a ✨ sprinkle of glitter ✨ provided by a fine strand of silver Lurex. These playful 100g balls of Whimsy really just make you want to smile.

Whimsy is perfect for small or larger projects that benefit for an injection of fun. Whimsy can be used for any 8 ply/DK patterns for little or big (adult!) kids.

Fun fact: When we were naming the shades, we lent into the whimsical nature of them, and gave them all unicorn names. Because, why not?! 🦄

Every ball of Whimsy is unique! With long gradients, each ball (even from the same dyelot) may look a little different from each other. Rest assured that each colourway has been carefully designed to include a gorgeous range of complementary colours.

Some of the Whimsy shades will be restocked in October 2026.

Why Choose?

Gorgeous Gradients: With long colour gradients and a touch of sparkle, each shade of Whimsy adds unique flair to your projects.

Versatile 8 Ply Weight: This versatile 8 ply (DK weight) yarn is suitable for a wide range of patterns - browse our 8 ply patterns here!

Easy Care: Machine washable, Whimsy 8 ply is fantastic for kids' garments and accessories.

I am knitting a vest for my granddaughter - purchased the pattern from Bendigo Woollen Mills - its not the correct wool for the vest - correct ply but not what was recommended for the pattern - subsequently i have needed to purchase 2 more balls - hopefully it will be sufficient

I have just started knitting with this amazing wool. I thought it was going to be a challenge as casting it on with the glitter I had to be very careful. In saying that the knitting is easy and the wool feels so luxurious. My granddaughter is going to love it. She was so excited when she saw it she couldn’t contain herself😁
