About Us
Welcome to Woolly Goodness
At Woolly Goodness, we believe in the power of beautifully hand-dyed yarn to transform not only your knitting or crafting experience but also your connection to the land and community. Based in Christchurch, we are proud to offer pure New Zealand Merino wool yarn, dyed by hand and available in a stunning array of shades, perfect for your next project.
Our family-owned business is built on a deep passion for sustainability and care for the environment. Moira and Ross, the founders of Woolly Goodness, personally oversee every step of the process, ensuring that each skein of yarn is crafted with love and care. We source our wool from New Zealand's high country farms, where the Merino sheep graze freely, producing a fibre that is not only luxuriously soft but also strong, breathable, and resilient.
Why Woolly Goodness?
When you choose Woolly Goodness, you’re choosing more than just yarn; you’re supporting a sustainable, eco-conscious approach to knitting and crafting. Our pure New Zealand Merino wool yarn is naturally renewable, biodegradable, and gentle on the environment—making it a choice you can feel good about.
By working closely with local farms, we ensure that our wool is ethically sourced, helping to sustain our local farming communities and supporting New Zealand’s proud wool heritage. You’ll be part of a tradition that goes back thousands of years, crafting with a fibre that is known for its warmth, flexibility, and durability.
Hand-Dyed for Your Unique Creations
Each skein of Woolly Goodness yarn is individually hand-dyed by Moira and Ross, creating a kaleidoscope of colours that bring your projects to life. Whether you’re knitting a cosy garment, a treasured gift, or a beautiful craft piece for your home, our yarns are designed to inspire creativity and joy. The natural properties of Merino wool—its softness, warmth, and ability to bounce back into shape—make it a delight to work with and wear.
Our variegated yarns are especially enchanting, offering the thrill of discovering how the colours blend and shift as you knit. Whether you pair them with a coordinating shade or create your own unique palette, our yarns promise an unforgettable crafting experience.
A Personal Touch in Every Skein
At Woolly Goodness, every batch of yarn is crafted with care. Moira’s expertise in colour design and knitting patterns, combined with Ross’s innovative tools and production management, ensures that each skein meets the highest standards. We take pride in knowing that our yarn will help you create beautiful, lasting pieces—garments, accessories, and more—that you and your loved ones will cherish for years to come.
By choosing Woolly Goodness, you're not only bringing home exceptional quality yarn but also supporting local, sustainable practices that contribute to the well-being of our environment and community.
Happy knitting!
