Ashford is proud of its very own Mackenzie Yarn. It is 100% pure New Zealand, with the wool grown on high country sheep farms around New Zealand and yarn spun in a small boutique mill in Hawkes Bay. This 100% Merino wool is a soft 4 ply machine washable yarn perfect for knitting and weaving.

Mackenzie is made from 21-23 micron merino fleece wool making it soft enough to be worn directly against the skin without scratching.

All Ashford fleece, sliver and yarns are from New Zealand sheep. The wool is from sheep that have not been mulesed. It is processed in New Zealand.

Ashford yarns are dyed using Oeko-Tex compliant dyes. The mills confirm that all dyes used to produce the Ashford ranges of yarn comply with the strict EU regulations and garments made from Ashford yarns can be certified under the Oeko-Tex Standard 100. This standard is the most widely known standard for certification of ecologically-safe clothing.
