A New Zealand classic — and one of the best-value pure wool DK yarns you'll find anywhere. Crucci Soft Pure Wool 8 Ply is a 100% pure NZ wool yarn that delivers everything you want from a reliable everyday workhorse: genuine softness, machine washable convenience, consistent tension, and a colour range broad enough to cover every project and every season.
Made in New Zealand from 100% pure wool, this yarn carries all the natural qualities that make wool the fibre of choice for knitters worldwide. It's naturally breathable and temperature-regulating, keeping the wearer comfortable in both cool and mild conditions. The natural elasticity of wool means your stitches stay even, your tension remains consistent, and finished garments hold their shape beautifully over time. And because it's machine washable, you can knit with confidence — perfect for children's garments, baby knits, and anything that needs to survive regular washing without special treatment.
At standard 8 ply DK weight on 4mm needles, Crucci Soft Pure Wool is compatible with a huge range of patterns and suitable for knitters of all levels. The smooth, even spin gives good stitch definition for cables, textured patterns, and colourwork, while the soft handle makes it a pleasure to work with from cast-on to cast-off.
The colour range is one of the most comprehensive available in a NZ pure wool DK — 27 shades spanning solids, marles, and prints. Clean neutrals include White, Cream, Oatmeal, Stone, and Ash. Cool blues and greens cover Pale Blue, Denim, Sea, French Navy, Duck Egg, Frost, Pistachio, Sage, and Forest. Warm and rich tones include Mustard, Lipstick Red, Carnation, Baby Pink, Old Rose, Mulberry, and Soft Heather. Deep shades include Black. The marle range adds textural interest with Fog Marle and Shadow Marle, while the print shades — Charcoal Print, Natural Print, and Green Print — offer a gently variegated effect within the ball.
