7 Wool Anniversary Gifts for Her
Why Wool?The second wedding anniversary is traditionally known as the “cotton anniversary,” but for many, the wool anniversary has become a cherished modern milestone - and we can’t think of a b...
As the crisp mornings roll in and the light starts to shift, it’s time to cosy up in pieces that feel as good as they look.
Autumn is one of our favourite seasons at The Wool Company - not just for the knitwear (though we love that too!) but for the rich, earthy colours and relaxed styling that suit our merino and possum merino so well.
This season, we’ve pulled together a few of our favourite colours and styles that are perfect for layering, lounging, and everything in between.
Whether you’re heading out for a weekend escape or just layering up for the school run, these timeless pieces will keep you warm, comfortable and looking great.
Ever tried something on and felt like it just lit up your whole face? That’s colour theory at work.
Everyone’s skin tone falls into a warm or cool category, and wearing the right shades can help you look more vibrant, fresh, and even rested.
Those with warm undertones - think golden, olive or peachy skin - tend to shine in classic autumn shades like burnt orange, camel, khaki green, warm browns, and golden neutrals.
These tones pick up the natural warmth in your complexion and pair beautifully with the seasonal palette outside.
If you’ve got cooler undertones - fair ivory skin, hints of pink or blue - then you might feel more at home in dusty pinks, blues, greys, or soft purples. These shades complement cool complexions without overwhelming them.
And for those somewhere in the middle? You’re in luck - neutrals, navy, and classic reds can be very flattering!
Not sure what suits you? Try holding garments up to your face in natural light. If it brightens your skin and makes your eyes stand out, it’s a winner.
So with that in mind, let’s talk about the pieces we’re reaching for this season - and the colours they come in.
Autumn is all about layering well, dressing comfortably, and getting the most from timeless, trans-seasonal pieces.
As you choose your favourites, don’t forget to consider your undertones - opting for colours that naturally complement your skin can make every outfit feel just that little bit more put-together.
Here are a few of our go-to styles from this season’s range:
Our most-loved pieces year after year, these classic jerseys are a staple for autumn.
They’re breathable, beautifully soft, and available in a wide array of colours - including warm tones like rust, forest green, and chocolate brown for golden-toned skin, or cooler hues like navy and dusty pink for fairer complexions.
A must-have for everyday wear. Easy to layer over tees or tops and stylish enough to wear on their own, our button-up cardigans come in soft neutrals, rich navy, and a few pops of colour.
Try cream, grey or blue tones for cooler undertones, or explore camel and peach shades if your skin leans warm.
A new favourite! These sleeveless styles are great for those in-between days. They add core warmth without feeling bulky and pair easily with long-sleeve tops, hoodies or merino layers.
Our range includes flattering neutrals like beige and natural, ideal for any skin tone.
Merino tops are your layering go-to.
Our lightweight options are cut for comfort and style, and come in both warm and cool shades - from soft sky blues, perfect for cool-toned skin, to earthy naturals and soft browns for warmer complexions.
Long sleeve, short sleeve, or ¾ - pick your favourite!
If you’re after something that feels like wearing a warm hug, this is it.
Warm-toned complexions tend to shine in options like camel, rust, or golden neutrals, while cooler tones might prefer soft greys, dusky pinks, or classic navy.
Choose the shade that lights up your skin tone - and enjoy effortless warmth in style. Great for dressing up a simple outfit or keeping cosy on the go, our wraps and ponchos are a customer favourite.
While colours and cuts are what first catch the eye, we believe the fabric is just as important.
When you’re layering up for the season ahead, the right material can make all the difference - not just in how warm you feel, but in how long your clothes last and how good they feel to wear.
That’s why everything in our knitwear range is crafted from natural fibres - soft, breathable merino wool and our famously cosy possum merino blends. These fibres work hard behind the scenes: merino naturally regulates your temperature, resists odour, and wicks away moisture, while possum fur adds an incredible warmth-to-weight ratio with a luxuriously soft feel. What’s more, our merino pieces use high-quality wool fibres - meaning no annoying itch!
Choosing these natural fibres means you’re investing in quality, comfort and longevity. It also means supporting New Zealand-made, sustainable fashion.
These are the pieces you’ll reach for again and again - this season, next season, and many more to come!
Autumn is the perfect time to lean into comfort, wrap yourself in warmth, and let your wardrobe reflect the richness of the season. Whether you're drawn to soft neutrals or bold, warm hues, our collection has plenty to explore.
