Knitting with LAMBSWOOL

LAMBSWOOL (a review)

If you’ve ever wished your knitting could feel as good for the planet as it does in your hands, LAMBSWOOL is here to prove it’s possible. It’s soft, smooth, beautifully spun, and completely mulesing-free — so you can knit something gorgeous and feel good about it, too.

My First Impressions

LAMBSWOOL is all about marrying conscience with comfort. Made from Australian superfine merino wool that’s arguably as soft as cashmere, it comes with full Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certification and is mulesing-free. Crafted in Italy, it feels light, smooth, and luxuriously soft straight from the ball, with a fine, even twist that promises crisp stitch definition and an elegant drape.

Knitting Experience

On 4.5 mm needles, LAMBSWOOL works into a soft, lofty fabric with beautiful clarity in each stitch. The worsted weight makes it versatile for both garments and accessories, and the yarn behaves consistently throughout — no splitting, no uneven tension. Every metre feels like you’re working with quality, but also with purpose.

Wearing and Performance

Finished pieces have a refined, cashmere-like softness that sits comfortably next to the skin. The yarn’s warmth is balanced by breathability, making it wearable year-round. While it’s hand-wash only, this is a small trade-off for a fibre of this quality and ethical standard.

Where It Excels

• Timeless cardigans and pullovers

Value for Money

Final Verdict

LAMBSWOOL by LANGYARNS proves that luxury doesn’t have to cost the earth. Its Australian superfine merino wool offers indulgent softness, Italian spinning delivers quality, and full RWS certification gives you the peace of mind that comes from knitting sustainably without compromise.
