Our Bendigo 8ply merino yarn!

We are super proud of our new Bendigo Station 8ply yarn we have just launched that we’ve grown the merino on our very own sheep at Bendigo. During the year our merinos roam free on the Central Otago highcountry as it is here where they thrive the best. 

I love this shot of my father with his beloved merinos in the yard at Bendigo and it reminds me of how lucky I am to have grown up on such an awesome place such as Bendigo.

Our beautiful merino wool comes in a variety of colours: snow, olive, duck egg, dusky pink, navy, truffle taupe, ochre & silver birch.

 Above ochre and snow are knitted up into a intricate cable jersey and our very own Aviator Hat. The below photo is raw merino fibre freshly shorn off our Bendigo merino's. Merino sheep produce tight wool with a fine crimp making it perfect for knitting yarn.

 During the month of September the sheep are brought down to the wool shed from the high-country to be shorn and graded by our expert team.

 Here our duck egg 8ply yarn is knitted into the most beautiful baby cardigan. A future family heirloom.

We hope you enjoy our yarn as much as we love producing it.

Hi Christina, hope you are surviving this lockdown. Just looking for some 4ply and 8ply wool, see they are all sold out is that just because of lockdown. And was just wandering if you had available the cable cardi pattern to buy, whe I was down at Wanaka show purchased the baby blanket pack, have finished it and looks beautiful. Wool is so soft.
Thanks a lot,
Judy

I love your wool and colour range. Where and how can I purchase some. I do a lot of toddlers knitting always in merino.

Do you have the knitting pattern for the little “duck egg blue” cardigan? Is the wool available somewhere in Christchurch?
Thanking you,
Liz
