Introducing WGW 10 ply Aran Yarn

Introducing WGW 10 ply Aran Yarn

As part of our 10 year anniversary celebration, we are delighted to introduce a whole new yarn weight!

Our new 10 ply is revolutionary for us. We’ve always wanted to carry an Aran weight yarn, but our superfine fibre makes pilling more likely as the yarn diameter increases. (That’s because there are lots more fibres in the cross-section of superfine yarn, which means a higher number of them will stick out sideways, forming the basis for a pill nubbin.)

Meet Apple Blossom and Rose Hip

Meet Apple Blossom and Rose Hip

WGW is 10 years old this year, and we’re so excited to share two new colours as part of our celebration! Last year I asked Rebecca Robinson of Augustbird to create a multi-coloured yarn that would go well with our popular neutrals, quarrystone and gum grey. In the end, I couldn’t choose between Rose Hip, a subtle tonal in shades of magenta, and Apple Blossom, a bright spring colour way with lots of contrast, so I decided to do both! They are now available in our our new 10 ply Aran yarn, as well as our 4 ply fingering, 8 ply DK, 12 ply boucle and rope yarn weights.
