New Zealand’s world renowned reputation as an exporter of superior quality wool, is undisputed. In a country where sheep outnumber people 10:1, we’ve learnt a thing or two about how to nurture and grow the world’s finest fleece.
But how do you really know, if you’re actually knitting your garments from the world’s finest fleece?
The origins of most of the
knitting wool yarns available in today’s retail stores is probably unknown and of varying quality. This makes it difficult for you, the knitter and spinner, to confidently source the best quality and right type of
knitting yarn for your project.
At Briar Patch, we understand that NOT ALL knitting wool yarn is created equal - different breeds of animal produce wool for different purposes. How do we know this? Because we grow it.
We’re New Zealand’s direct
knitting wool suppliers to the world’s fussiest knitters and hand spinners.

As a knitting pattern designer I am always looking for the best yarns. I love and highly recommend organically grown super soft merino wool by Briar Patch. It is amazingly soft, a pleasure to work with and creates a magnificent garment that looks good and feels fantastic. Thank you Briar Patch and Lammermoor Station.
