This yarn is AMAZING!!

It’s gentle heathering makes for an interesting fabric that looks beautiful in stocking stitch but absolutely shines in textured designs.

This is my third order of Wollemi and is unlikely to be my last!!

Finally 100% merino wool I can trust to have no synthetic content. I love the 200 gram balls and the range of blues and greens.

I chose Lily pily, Gumdrop and Paperbark. The yarn is crocheting up beautifully with great stitch definition and no splitting. The colours are deliciously muted with subtle Heathering, very reminiscent of the Australian bush. Everyone who sees the colours loves them. They do have a lanolin scent, so be aware of that.

Wollemi is without doubt my favourite yarn to knit with. I love every second I get to spend with this stuff! Also, the smell is worth mentioning The Best. When will it be in 4ply?

I love the smell of Wollemi…..every time I pick up a ball of it, I put it to my nose and it takes me straight back to the shearing shed. I have t started knitting it yet, that will be next year’s project.

I have loved Wollemi ever since Bendigo introduced it and my friend made a blanket with it. This colour is my favourite, it feels so good, the whole process of purchasing was easy and the delivery was sent without hesitation. I buy a lot online and BWM has never failed to impress with their products and professionalism. Thanks BENDIGO 💛💛💛💛💛

Absolutely gorgeous yarn. I am using this to make a cabled sweater. The stitch definition is beautiful and I am sure it will block out beautifully as well. I love the fact that its fully traceable and made in Australia
