In September, Woolyarns had the pleasure of attending the 2024 Spin Expo in Shanghai. Our Perino samples made it to the trending area, and it was great to see some new and current faces. Our giveaway pompom keychains were a hit as well! Thank you to everyone who stopped by for a chat and looking forward to Spin Expo 2025!

Merino is a premium natural component in addition to any blend, providing superior quality and performance. We use a specialised dehairing technique with brushtail possum down to refine the fibre, resulting in ultra-lightweight feel. Indulge in ultimate luxury with our Perino yarns, mixed in with the softest Cashmere. Renowned for its warmth and durability.

After blending the fibres together, the wool comes down the shute - ready to go to carding #blending #perino #woolyarns

After washing comes the drying! The wool stays in the bag as it gets rolled through our drying machine. This protects and keeps the fibres together which brings out a nice soft finish #perinoyarns #ethicalwool

The dyehouse meticulously cleans down the vats after every dyeing session. This ensures no contamination such as fibres or dye is left over when dyeing the next batch. #dyehouse #bestquality
