When you're working with thicker yarns, finding one that dyes beautifully and behaves well on needles, hooks, or loom can be tricky. Ashford’s 100% NZ Triple Knit Wool offers the structure, warmth, and bounce you need, with a natural finish that’s ready to take on your creative colour ideas.

DESCRIPTION

You want a yarn that can keep up with your ideas—something warm and weighty, perfect for cosy knits or textured weaves, but still open to your personal touch. Too often, thicker yarns come overly processed or pre-dyed, leaving little room for creativity and less control over the final feel or finish.

Ashford’s undyed 12 ply wool is made to support your vision. Spun from a blend of New Zealand Corriedale and Perendale, it’s strong, lofty, and slightly springy—perfect for dyeing, knitting, crocheting, or weaving. It’s unbulked, so it may look a little fine straight off the cone, but it plumps up beautifully after the first wash or dye bath. That moment when your yarn transforms in your hands? It’s deeply satisfying.

Once dyed or finished, the results are rich and dependable. Projects hold their shape, colours stay true, and the feel is exactly what you’d expect from pure NZ wool—warm, touchable, and hard-wearing. Whether you’re planning a thick winter scarf, chunky handwoven cushion, or a small-batch dyed yarn line, this base yarn makes the creative process smoother and more rewarding from start to finish.

How does this yarn compare to other 12ply options?

Ashford's Triple Knit is a premium 12ply (aran) yarn that combines finer micron Corriedale and Perendale wool, offering a balance of softness and durability. This blend provides warmth, resilience, and elasticity, making it more comfortable and long-lasting compared to standard bulky wools.

Is this yarn suitable for dyeing?

Yes, the natural white, undyed yarn base takes dye exceptionally well, allowing for vibrant, even color absorption. You can use acid dyes for bright hues or natural dyes for a subtle, organic look. Pre-soaking the yarn before dyeing helps achieve more uniform results.

What is the recommended needle size?

Suggested needle sizes for knitting with this yarn range from 5.00mm to 5.50mm (US 8–9). These sizes provide optimal stitch definition while maintaining flexibility and warmth. Larger needles can create a looser, drapier fabric, while smaller needles result in a denser, structured knit.

Can I use this yarn for crochet projects?

Yes, this yarn is versatile and works well for crochet projects. A recommended hook size of 5mm to 6mm (H–I US) ensures a balanced fabric with good stitch definition. It is ideal for making thick blankets, warm accessories, and textured stitch patterns.

How should I care for items made with this yarn?

Hand washing in lukewarm water with a wool-friendly detergent is recommended to maintain the fiber’s softness and shape. Avoid excessive agitation to prevent felting. Lay flat to dry and reshape if necessary. Using a gentle wash cycle in a laundry bag may also work for low-risk items.

Is this yarn suitable for weaving?

Yes, this wool yarn is an excellent choice for weaving, particularly for weft. A recommended sett of 5–7.5 ends per inch (dpi) allows for a balanced weave structure. It is well-suited for creating warm woven blankets, scarves, and soft home textiles.

What is the yardage per 100g skein?

Each 100g skein provides approximately 150 meters (164 yards) of yarn. This amount is sufficient for small accessories like beanies or mittens, while larger projects may require multiple skeins or a full 1kg cone for convenience.

Does the yarn contain any synthetic fibers?

No, Ashford's Triple Knit is made from 100% pure New Zealand wool, free from synthetic additives or artificial processing. This ensures a completely natural, biodegradable, and sustainable product that retains the inherent qualities of high-quality wool.

Is this yarn machine washable?

Hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the wool fibres and prevent shrinkage or felting. However, if machine washing is necessary, use a delicate wool cycle with cold water and a gentle detergent, then lay flat to dry to avoid distortion.

What projects are ideal for this yarn?

This yarn is ideal for creating cozy garments and accessories such as sweaters, scarves, beanies, mittens, and blankets. Its warmth and durability make it particularly suited for cold-weather projects, while its soft texture ensures comfort against the skin.
