ABOUT THE WOOL COMPANY

Our vision at The Wool Company is to bring you quality New Zealand made knitwear, lingerie, accessories and yarn manufactured in merino and merino possum clothing. Every attention is given to styling, fit and colour when we put together our range. As well as our own label "The Wool Company" we also stock other brands made by New Zealand companies who are committed to manufacturing quality New Zealand merino clothing and knitwear.
