Our Merino is buttery soft. Some colours shown are for a different yarn weight. We do have undyed skeins and will accept preorders.
Our 100% Australian SRS Merino is single-origin sourced from Mount Bodangora Merino, a six-generation merino stud committed to an ethical and sustainable approach to animal welfare and non-mulesed. Mount Bodangora run a mob of sheep especially for Great Southern Yarn to supply us with a longer length fleece of around 100mm or four inches to create the best of yarns.
210 metres or 229 yards per 100-gram skein.
Mount Bodangora is part of the ‘SustainaWOOL’ integrity scheme, an accreditation program run by Italian woollen mills to ensure a high standard of care for the sheep and their environment.
