Still Waters - 74g - Aussie Merino 4 Ply - Billy 4

Still Waters

Still Waters is a rich, tranquil blue inspired by the quiet depths of a secluded lake. Sitting between teal and petrol blue, it carries cool green undertones that soften the colour and give it a calm, contemplative feel. Neither bright nor muted, it has a beautiful depth that shifts gently with the light, revealing hints of deep turquoise and weathered ocean.

This versatile shade pairs beautifully with soft greys, warm creams, natural linen tones, eucalyptus greens, charcoal, and rich bronze or copper accents. It is equally at home in textured shawls, timeless sweaters, cosy accessories, and heirloom blankets, bringing a sense of quiet confidence and understated beauty to every stitch.

A colour that evokes peaceful mornings, glassy water, and the gentle stillness found where the world slows down.

Billy 4 Ply – Non Superwash Australian Merino

Billy is a beautifully soft 4 ply yarn spun from 100% non superwash Australian Merino, offering the natural character and gentle bloom that only untreated wool can provide. Sourced from Australian sheep, this yarn celebrates the beauty of natural fibre while producing fabric with excellent stitch definition, softness and elasticity.

At 476 metres per 100g, Billy sits slightly finer than a traditional fingering weight, making it ideal for lightweight garments, lace shawls, wraps, scarves and accessories where drape and softness are important. The untreated fibre readily absorbs colour, creating rich, luminous shades with beautiful depth.

Because Billy is non superwash, your finished projects will retain the natural qualities of merino wool. With gentle care, garments will soften even further over time and become favourites to wear for many years.
