Non-Superwash Yarn Bases
White Gum Wool is Augustbird’s hero yarn. This ethically grown Australian merino is spun into squishy, super-soft yarn which I proudly offer in 4ply (fingering), 5ply (Sport), 8ply (DK) and 10ply (Worsted). My sock yarn contains 30% Tussah Silk adding extra strength and a gorgeous sheen without compromising on softness. Silk is a fabulous alternative to nylon and all Augustbird yarns are nylon-free.

Superwash Yarn Bases
While Augustbird will always be centred around non-superwash, untreated yarns, I do now offer two superwash bases. These have undergone a chlorine treatment that is then disposed of thoughtfully. These bases have no synthetic coating and are 100% nylon-free.
