Dolce 8 ply

Soft, lustrous and gentle against the skin, we’re proud to release our new Limited Edition yarn: Dolce. 

Crafted from 50% Wool and 50% Bamboo, this yarn has a beautiful drape and soothing colour palette. Knit or crochet with this yarn for its beauty, or create for those who don’t enjoy pure wool against their skin. This Australian made yarn is slightly silky and bouncy and feels gentle to the touch – in fact, 'dolce’ means ‘gentle’ in Italian. 

Ideal for adult, child or baby garments, accessories like scarves and hats, or knitted or crocheted homewares like blankets and cushion covers.  

Why choose Dolce 8 Ply 50% Wool / 50% Bamboo blend knitting yarn?

Soft & Gentle: This is a soft, bouncy yarn that is gentle against the skin thanks to the 50% bamboo.  

Soothing colours: The colours in this range are as soft as the yarn: from earthy greens to cool blues, soft pinks and lilacs, and more.  
 
Lustrous Sheen: The yarn features a light lustre due to both the softer colours and the fibre construction taking on a less uniform and dense dye finish. It also features a slight halo effect, giving your stiches a softer finish, whilst still maintaining good stitch definition. 

Beautiful drape: When knitted up, this yarn has a lovely drape thanks to the inclusion of bamboo.  

Perfect trans-seasonal weight yarn: Whilst you have the warmth of wool, the 50% bamboo keeps it lighter than a pure wool, making this ideal for Spring & Autumn knitting. 
 
Versatile 8 Ply Weight: This versatile 8 ply (DK weight) Dolce yarn is suitable for a wide range of your favourite 8 ply patterns, from cosy garments to stylish accessories.

Did you ever work with Galaxy or Stellar yarns?

Both of these previous Bendigo Woollen Mills limited edition yarns were also a 50% Wool & Bamboo blend and feel similar to Dolce. The dye process for Dolce is most similar to Stellar but the twist is most similar to Galaxy.
