Cleckheaton

Cleckheaton Country, the classic

Cleckheaton Country 8 ply is 100% Australian wool, grown and made in Australia by Wangaratta Woollen Mills. It has 95 metres in a 50g ball, comes in a wide colour range and takes a warm, gentle machine wash, which is why it suits everyday jumpers and children's knits. Country Naturals is the tweed version, with flecks of colour through a blend of wool, acrylic and viscose.

Midlands Merino and the special yarns

Cleckheaton Midlands Merino comes from a single Responsible Wool Standard certified flock in southern Tasmania, at 19.5 micron. The 8 ply has 92 metres in a 50g ball, and Midlands Merino 12 ply has 60 metres on 5.5mm needles. Cleckheaton Rodinia is a textured 10 ply tweed of wool, alpaca, acrylic, silk and viscose, made in regional Victoria. Cleckheaton Verve is a 12 ply of 70% wool and 30% acrylic in intense, radiant colours.

Buying Cleckheaton in Australia

Every yarn here ships across Australia, and our Cleckheaton patterns are written for these yarns, so you can order the pattern and the yarn together. Check the ball band before washing, because care varies across the range. If your pattern calls for a discontinued Cleckheaton yarn, email us the details and we will suggest a substitute from what we stock.
