Jumbuk Wool

At Jumbuk Wools, we have always featured the natural undyed colours of creamy-white (LH top), silver-grey (RH top),darker-grey (LH lower), and charcoal-brown (RH lower). We also stock a spectacular range of hand-dyed, multi-toned colours of Jumbuk Wool, as well as many other yarn fibre, texture and colour mixtures, all which complement with, or contrast to, our natural shades.

Ply and Tension Details:

Jumbuk Wool handknitting yarns are slightly thicker then many other commercial yarns so we tend to refer to them as Gold, Blue and Brown Label, not ply, to avoid confusion with knitting patterns using other yarns.

The colour of the printing on the ball label denotes the wool thickness.

• "Gold Label" is approx. 5 ply. Suggested tension is 24 sts and 32 rows to 10 cm using 3.75 mm ndls, in Stocking stitch.
• "Blue"Label" is approx 8 ply. Suggested tension is 20 sts and 26 rows to 10 cm using 4.5 mm ndls, in Stocking stitch.
• "Brown Label" is approx 12 ply. Suggested tension is 16 sts and 21 rows to 10 cm using 5.5 mm ndls, in Stocking stitch.

We have a range of pattern books and pattern leaflets suitable for our wools - projects include jumpers, cardigans, vests and sleeveless pullovers, shawls, beanies, scarves, and socks, as well as some special ideas including "Kangaroo boots" and a "Curly-Tail Possum scarf".
