Is the chunky yarn made from Australian merino wool?
Yes, the Homelea Lass chunky yarns are all made from 100% Australian Merino Wool, which is complemented by being fully processed in Australia without taking a trip overseas. This natural, biodegradable fibre is our favourite to crochet and knit with and we love that it will return to the earth when we no longer need it.
