Deep Clay color wool yarn in cone - 85 New

Deep Clay (85) – 100% New Zealand Rug Wool | 500 g Cone

Bring earthy depth to your handmade textiles with Deep Clay (85), a warm, muted reddish-brown clay shade with soft rosy undertones. It is the darker, richer companion to Light Clay (56), making the two colours a beautiful pairing for subtle tonal patterns.

Made from 100% New Zealand wool, this yarn has a rustic natural texture and a 4-ply construction, with four strands twisted together. Each 500 g cone contains approximately 890 metres / 973 yards.

For rug making and textile art

Deep Clay is a beautiful choice for rug tufting, rug weaving, tapestry weaving, wall hangings and decorative textile art. It can also be used for punch needle projects with a suitable needle and backing fabric.

Its warm, earthy tone adds depth to botanical motifs, floral rugs, abstract shapes and landscape-inspired designs. Use it for small accents, flowing patterns or larger areas of rich clay colour.

Create a harmonious palette

Pair Deep Clay with Light Clay for a gentle transition between darker and lighter shades. Add Sandy Clay, ivory, oatmeal or sandy beige for warmth and balance, or introduce Pistachio Green for a fresh botanical accent.

Working with this yarn

For tufting, adjust the number of strands to suit your tufting gun, backing fabric and desired pile density. Test a small section before beginning your project.
