Nundle Cheese Wool Fibre per kg

22.5 Micron Victorian Merino | A-Grade & B-Grade | Australian Made

Meet one of the most fascinating fibres in the Nundle range — Nundle Cheese Wool Fibre. Produced on our historic carding line as the very first stage of yarn production, cheese is a wool fibre that has been gently rubbed together into a soft, continuous strand — but not yet twisted. The result is a beautifully airy, lofty fibre with incredible potential and virtually no strength until it is spun, making every twist of the spindle or wheel a genuinely transformative experience.

Sourced from fine 22.5 micron Merino sheep from the Western District of Victoria and processed at Nundle Woollen Mill, this is an authentic, Australian-made spinning fibre with a story as rich as the wool itself.

The Story Behind the Fibre

This fibre begins its journey in the clean, cool pastures of Tasmania's northern midlands, on the Youl family's Elsdon property near Perth, Tasmania. Their exceptional Merino fleece is prized for its fineness, naturally brilliant white base and long, consistent staple — the very qualities that make it perform beautifully across every fibre technique.

From the Elsdon property, this Tasmanian Merino fleece travels to Nundle Woollen Mill, where it's carded on our historic 1914 machine into the soft, airy sliver and roving you're holding — carrying more than a century of wool craft tradition and a paddock-to-project story as pure and traceable as fibre gets.

What is Cheese Wool Fibre?
Cheese is a wool fibre that has been processed through our carding line and gently rubbed into a continuous strand — the very first structure in the journey from raw fleece to finished yarn. Unlike roving or sliver, cheese has not been twisted, meaning the fibre strand has little strength on its own. Once spun and twisted, however, it transforms into a yarn of your own making — which is exactly the magic of it.

A-Grade vs B-Grade

• A-Grade: Finer, cleaner fibre with minimal vegetable matter — ideal for spinners seeking the smoothest, most consistent result
• B-Grade: Excellent quality fibre with slightly more natural character — great value for practice spinning, blending and experimental projects

Perfect For:
Beginner spinning · Experienced spinning · Fibre blending · Wet felting · Needle felting · Fibre art · Creative yarn combinations

Please Note
As a naturally processed fibre, Cheese Wool may contain very small traces of vegetable matter such as seed or burr, particularly in B-Grade. This is a natural characteristic of minimally processed wool and not a defect.
