If you buy a card, we will then send you a voucher code to use with your purchase so you will get your $5.00 back. We’re doing this to help us stay focused on people who are really interested in our yarn, rather than just looking for a freebie.
Yarn samples in all of our plys and colours are included, along with combed top and fleece samples.
If you are placing an order and want a sample card, leave us a note at checkout, and we’ll send the card at no charge.
Ethical Superfine Merino from the Tasmanian Midlands
The story behind White Gum Wool is one of mamas and babies,
of diversity and abundance, and of ethics—for the land, the animals
and the people involved in making this yarn.
Sample Card
You can also request a sample card with your order at no charge.
Spun from four strands of 17-micron superfine merino bouclé, this super chunky rope yarn is irresistibly soft, lofty, and smooth to the touch. The ombre of seafoam, aqua, and amethyst drifts like ocean tides, adding a calm, flowing beauty to your stitches.

Cloud Gazing
"Clouds are the sky's imagination”- Terri Guillemets
The practice of gazing at clouds holds many of the calming benefits that can be found in knitting. It is a form of mindfulness and a way for us to use our imagination and creativity. This colourway is my attempt bringing the benefits of cloud gazing and knitting together so that you can get a double dose of calm and creativity.
Hand dyed by Rebecca Robinson of Augustbird.
Wild
Untamed, free-spirited, full of movement. Wild is a colourway that invites you to dance with the wind, wander barefoot through the trees, and embrace the wild one within.
