Dark blue New Zealand fingering wool yarn - 480

100% New Zealand Wool Yarn – Vintage Denim No. 470

Beautiful 100% New Zealand wool yarn in Vintage Denim No. 470 — a sophisticated denim blue with a subtle melange effect that gives the shade beautiful depth and natural variation.

Inspired by the timeless character of vintage blue denim, this color blends softly muted blue tones rather than appearing completely flat or uniform. The gentle melange creates a naturally textured look that becomes especially beautiful when knitted or woven.

Spun and twisted in a small family-run village mill, this yarn retains the authentic character of pure wool, with a warm, slightly rustic texture and excellent durability.

This versatile fingering weight wool yarn is ideal for knitting, crochet, weaving, colorwork and felting. Vintage Denim is a wonderful choice for sweaters, cardigans, socks, mittens, warm accessories, blankets, Fair Isle patterns and woven textiles.

The familiar denim-inspired blue is extremely easy to wear and combine. It pairs beautifully with natural white, cream, beige, grey, brown and other earthy or muted shades, while the melange effect adds extra character even when used on its own.

Use a single strand for finer projects or hold two or more strands together for sweaters, cardigans and warmer pieces.

This is natural wool with a slightly rustic feel rather than an extra-soft merino texture, so it may not be suitable for very sensitive skin.
