When developing the Australia Collection, we wanted to create 12 colours that represented 12 specific species that are most at risk during the bushfires. We recognize there are many more animals, fauna, habitat, and species that are affected, and our heart still breaks for all of them.

We choose a fingering/sock weight yarn for it’s versatility. With an 80% Superwash Merino Wool and 20% Nylon, its durable for socks, and harder wearing garments, but soft and squishy enough for sweaters and shawls. With 450 yards per skein, one skein will not only provide Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors Bush Fire Appeal with a $5 donation, but you can also complete an entire project.

We also made an exclusive colour way named “Oceans of Change”. This colour is only available in our box set (which comes with 1 of each of the 12 species, and “Oceans of Change” it provides a $80 donation to the Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors Bush Fire Appeal. I feel without change in terms of how we deal with climate change, and the things that contribute to it, unfortunately things like the heart wrenching bushfires will escalate, it feels like a wake up call for myself personally, as steward of the land at my farm, and as someone who loves the brilliant nature that surrounds us everyday.
