White Gum Wool - Ethical, Superfine Australian Wool Yarn

White Gum Wool: Ethical Superfine Australian Merino from the Wool of Happy Sheep. 

Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Tasmania's high midlands, there's a farm unlike any other, White Gum Wool. At White Gum Wool it's not just about wool—it's a whole way of life. You see, every skein spun from this farm tells a story, a story of mama sheep and their babies, of a rich tapestry of diversity, and most importantly, of ethics—ethics for the land, the animals, and the wonderful people who make it all happen.

Now, let me tell you a bit about Nan Bray, the driving force and wonder-woman behind White Gum Wool. She's been tending to her sheep and the land for years, pouring her heart and soul into creating something truly special. And you know what? It shows.

The wool from these sheep isn't just soft; it's like wrapping yourself in a cloud of goodness.

For over a decade, Augustbird has collaborated with White Gum Wool, and together Nan and I have created yarns and colourways that reflect our love for nature and the farm.

Here at Augustbird I offer yarns for conscious crafters seeking the softest, most ethically sourced wool Australia has to offer, White Gum Wool. Together with Nan's support and friendship, we're not just creating yarn, we are sharing our stories and our belief in kindness and creativity. 

Within this yarn collection, you'll find an array of Augustbird colourways that have been thoughtfully crafted on a base of beautiful White Gum Wool yarn. Each colourway is an expression of mine or Nan’s experiences and feelings, telling stories of nature, kindness and acceptance.
