Bowerbird


Bowerbird is Augustbird's super-soft and squishy 8ply/DK base that is a great allrounder for everyday knitting. Made from 100% ethical superfine merino, it soaks up the dyes beautifully.

Bowerbird 100% Australian merino is sustainable, natural and local - Grown ethically on the White Gum Wool farm right here in Australia! 

Augustbird Bowerbird yarn is hand-dyed by me, Rebecca Robinson, in small batches from my studio in the Adelaide Hills, Peramangk country. To find out a bit about me and my dyeing process click here.

I hand-dye yarn once or twice a month so If there is no yarn listed here at this time please check back again soon. Meanwhile feel free to purchase some lovely dyed-to-order yarn.
