Pure Alpaca is back at Bendigo Woollen Mills - with five NEW shades, including two beautiful blends (Soft Turquoise & Warm Oak).

Treat yourself to 100% Alpaca in versatile 8 ply: the perfect choice for any 8 ply projects that deserve an extra hint of luxury and warmth.

Being pure alpaca, this yarn is ideal for those who crave warmth and also those that can’t wear wool. We’ve created a new knitting pattern that looks stunning in BWM Alpaca, the Laurel Lace Jumper.

Available in 100g balls, this is a limited edition yarn, with a single production run. So if one of the 11 shades calls to you, add it to your stash today.

Loving the look of our new Luxury Limited shades but not sure what to make? Here’s some ideas we LOVE, ready to inspire your next creation!

🎨 For a classic men’s jumper in 8 ply, we reckon Sumac would be a perfect combination with PT 8327.

🎨 Alternatively, elevate your jumper with sophisticated saddle shoulders: try the Saddle Shoulder Jumper (PT 8651) in Bayleaf!

🎨 Crochet a squishy throw in 4, 8 OR 10 ply with PT 8656 – here’s what we think it would look like in Winter Blue!

🎨 Who doesn’t love a vest? PT 8665 Diamond Vest would look so good in Bronze Fennel for an earthy-yet-sophisticated Winter layer.

🎨 Try down-to-earth Sumac in the lovely lace of PT 8504, or vibrant Snowpea in the Lace Arrow Jumper (PT 8290)

🎨 The textured henley PT 8316 would look gorgeous in Winter Blue!


Whatever you choose to make, we hope you’ll enjoy these special limited shades as much as we do! Find them on our website in 4, 8 and 10 ply now...but only while stocks last. https://bendigowoollenmills.com.au/collections/luxury

Ready for even more colour in your life? We've created a Winter release of six Limited Edition shades of Luxury across 4, 8 & 10 ply.

We've shared photography below of these Limited edition shades next to other yarns you'll find on our 2026 Shade Card to help you get a better sense of these shades.

We've also paired each with the closest matching Lilt, as these yarns pair beautifully together.

We hope you spy a new shade you'll love!

Find them online at: https://bendigowoollenmills.com.au/collections/luxury

Note: We take these photos under different lighting conditions, so there will be some variation. Plus there is always so much variation across screens - even desktop to phone to tablet. So for the closest 'match' to what the ball will be, the individual ball shots on the website are the most accurate.

But wait, there’s more…another stunning new pattern for Lilt: The Aurora Jumper. 🤎🤍

We’ve just released TWO new knitting patterns for Lilt, the Valentina Jumper that we shared yesterday and the gorgeous Aurora Jumper (PT 8737).

Knitted top down, in the round, the Aurora uses four shades of Lilt to cleverly create seven wide colour stripes, with two shades knitted together in the ‘transition’ stripes. This creates an ombre style effect that is truly stunning.

Available in a wide range of sizes, to fit chest 80cm-150cm, and works when knit ‘to size’ or potentially worn more casually with an oversize fit, which we’ve shown on our lovely model here.

With our Lilt Silk Mohair available in 24 shades, there’s so many beautiful combinations that would work for this jumper.

Find the Aurora Pattern, and Lilt, in store or at https://bendigowoollenmills.com.au/products/the-aurora-jumper-womens-knitting-pattern-pt-8737

😍 Stunning NEW pattern for Lilt: The Valentina Jumper 😍

Every now and then a pattern just calls out to jump straight onto your needles.

The Valentina Jumper (PT 8743) is stylish and graceful knit that is a delight to wear and is sure to attract compliment after compliment!

Decadent Lilt combines here with Classic 4 ply to create a stunning jumper using a rick rack rib pattern with a delicate mohair halo.

A nod to vintage style is found in this modern, feminine knit pattern. With a pieced construction, it is available in a wide size range too(finished chest size range 80cm-150cm).
