Beautifully soft, wonderfully warm, and available in an incredible colour palette, Crucci 8 Ply Soft Pure Wool is one of those yarn ranges knitters come back to again and again.
Made from 100% pure wool, this premium machine washable DK yarn combines the natural comfort and warmth of wool with the practicality modern knitters love. Soft enough for garments and baby projects while still offering the structure and stitch definition needed for textured knitting, cables, ribbing, and colourwork, it is an incredibly versatile yarn for year-round knitting and crochet projects.
We are proud to be investing heavily into the Crucci Soft Pure Wool range with an extensive colour selection available online and in-store. From timeless neutrals and earthy marles through to rich fashion shades and vibrant statement colours, this collection offers beautiful options for everything from modern garments to classic heirloom knitting.
Crucci has long been one of New Zealand’s most recognised yarn brands, trusted by generations of knitters for reliable quality, wearable softness, and beautiful wearable results. This range captures everything knitters love about real wool. Warmth, breathability, softness, durability, and that unmistakable natural wool feel.
Unlike harsher traditional wool yarns, Crucci Soft Pure Wool has a noticeably softer handle that feels comfortable against the skin while still maintaining the body and warmth that make wool garments so enjoyable to wear through cooler seasons.
