From socks, mitts and hats to keep your extremities cosy, garments to warm your core, and a blanket perfect for a baby, the Wrapped Collection expands into a generous selection of wraps and shawls. Sustainable, ethical Tasmanian wool meets modern design, dovetailing to bring you a wonderful new collection of patterns to craft with.

I spent some time at an old farmhouse in the Central Highlands last week, and there was a small group of eleven cautious ewes there. We nodded to each other sagely. I think they could tell I was wearing merino.

Here we all were, ready to wave goodbye to winter and throw the windows open for a good dose of early spring hayfever. But late August and early September had other ideas, coldly shirt-fronting our naïve expectations and dropping snow in Canberra, and swathes of the higher altitudes in south-eastern Australia - including the White Gum Wool farm.

This is a story about conscious connection. This is something I’ve observed in the crafting community; and it’s on the rise. We are not only becoming more thoughtful consumers. We also care about provenance, and what it means for the feel of the product we’re using.

"As with all wool, White Gum Wool is a very breathable creature. This means that it can be taken out again and again, and again, without starting to smell like a Cave Troll. Occasional airing is good. A spot-clean here and there can do wonders. And when it really does need a wash, the process is quite simple."

We bring you warmth. A dozen designs, to cover you from head to toe in White Gum Wool. Knitted in a selection of signature White Gum Wool colours, with the textures of three yarn styles.

We all know of that moment when we stop, and stare at our hands. When the project we are working on sits malevolent and scrunched, and we have the realisation. The knowledge descends that, suddenly, we are not having fun.
