Collection: White Gum Wool - Sustainable Hand Dyed Australian Yarn

White Gum Wool: Ethically Sourced, Sustainable Australian Merino from Happy Sheep.

Tucked away in Tasmania’s high midlands, White Gum Wool is more than just a farm. It’s a whole way of life shaped by kindness and care. The wool from this special place tells a story, from the mother sheep caring for their lambs to the rich, diverse landscape they call home. It’s about more than just wool, it's about being gentle with all things, and forging a better way forward. 

Nan Bray is the driving force and wonder-woman behind White Gum Wool. She's been tending to her sheep and the land for years, pouring her heart and soul into creating something truly special.

The wool from these sheep isn't just soft, it's like wrapping yourself in a cloud of goodness.

For over a decade, Augustbird has collaborated with White Gum Wool, and together Nan and I have created yarns and colourways that reflect our love for nature, kindness and connection.

Here at Augustbird I offer yarn for thoughtful makers seeking the softest, most ethically sourced wool Australia has to offer, White Gum Wool. Together with Nan's support and friendship, we're not just creating yarn, we are sharing our stories and our belief in kindness and creativity. 

Within this yarn collection, you'll find Augustbird colourways that have been thoughtfully hand-dyed on a base of beautiful White Gum Wool yarn. Each colourway is an expression of my experiences and feelings, telling stories of nature, kindness and connection.

Hand Dyed Yarn Australia. Inspired by Nature, Dyed with Intention

Augustbird’s hand dyed yarn is created to inspire and bring a sense of calm and comfort to your knitting. Each skein is mindfully dyed in small batches on superfine Australian merino, carefully selected for its luxurious softness and quality.

I dye each colourway in my studio on Peramangk Land in the Adelaide Hills, where the surrounding bushland provides endless inspiration. My approach to dyeing is intuitive, capturing the gentle moments, shifting light, and quiet beauty of my everyday life.

Beautifully Soft, Natural Inspired

Augustbird yarn is made from premium Australian merino, including both superwash and non-superwash options, chosen for their exceptional softness and versatility.

Each skein is hand dyed in small batches, using carefully selected non-toxic dyes to create soft, timeless colourways. My process ensures that every skein is a joy to knit with. Soft pastels, earthy neutrals, and deep, moody tones… every colourway is created to bring a sense of calm and connection to your making.

Happy creating!
