Wisewool™ Knitting

Wool with purpose, made in Aotearoa

There’s wool, and then there’s Wisewool™. Born in Tairawhiti, Gisborne and guided by a fifth-generation wool family, Wisewool™ turns pure, strong New Zealand wool into premium fill and batting for makers who care about quality, health and the planet. It’s warm, breathable and built to last, without the plastic fluff.

Certified good: B Corp, through and through

Wisewool™ is proudly B Corp certified, which means they meet rigorous standards for social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. In other words, they’re not just talking about doing good, they’re proving it.

Less plastic, more wisdom

The mission is clear: get synthetics out of soft goods where wool can do a better job. Every bag of WiseFill™ and every metre of WiseLayer™ replaces polyester fill and batting with a natural fibre that breathes, manages moisture, and won’t shed microplastics into your home or the environment. That’s better for sleepers, better for lungs, and better for our waterways.

Traceable from farm to finish

Every Wisewool fibre is traceable from the farm gate to the final craft item. This ensures quality, supports ethical farming, and gives makers confidence in what they’re working with. Farm to fibre to finished piece, with a clear chain of custody.

 
Engineered by nature, refined for makers

Wisewool™ takes nature’s design and fine-tunes it for crafting:

• WiseFill™ is a bouncy, resilient loose fill that holds loft without synthetic binders.
• WiseLayer™ needle-punched blanketing, soft yet structured wool sheets ideal for quilts, duvets, toppers, and upholstery.
   

Both are 100% pure NZ wool, naturally resistant to fire, so no nasty fire-retardants required.

Made for makers

Whether you’re quilting an heirloom throw, stuffing soft toys, shaping cushions, or lining handcrafted pieces, Wisewool™ gives you the feel, workability, and long-lasting quality only real wool can deliver.
