Ethical + Regenerative | Millpost Merino
Australian superfine Merino.
Ethically and regeneratively grown.
Produced on a family farm by lifelong wool lovers right here in Australia. Do I need to say more‽
Yes, of course I do. It’s one of my favourites for good reason.
Millpost Merino starts its journey on a single farm in Bungendore on the Southern Tablelands of NSW where the multi-generational Watson family have been practicing regenerative agriculture since 1979.
Early adopters of permaculture principles and methods, the Watsons farm their flock of Saxon Poll Merino sheep with the aim of minimising their impact on the surrounding ecosystem, always working to improve the health of the land they farm.
The farm to yarn journey continues when the best of the clip is sent off to New Zealand to be processed and spun by experienced hands. Returning home, the resulting yarn is incredibly soft and sumptuous offering makers a unique yarning experience.
Available in both 4 ply and 8 ply weights, Millpost Merino is perfect for all those special knit and crochet pieces where they’ll be appreciated and cherished by their wearer for years to come.
