Naturally Yarns
In the 1980s Wentworth Distributors NZ Ltd. was owned by Went Ferdinands and was known as the Wendy Wools hand knitting yarn distributor for New Zealand. Went, however, had a dream. He wanted to sell balls of yarn to every retailer in New Zealand and he wanted it to be his own label. During a moment of contemplation on how he was going to do this, he scripted the word “Naturally” on a piece of paper and the dream came to life. The first yarns sold by Naturally were Pure Wool Natural Hanks, a natural un-dyed New Zealand spun wool. The brand was widely accepted in New Zealand and more yarns were added until a full range of New Zealand made yarns made up the collection.
The Naturally label expanded into fashion yarns to supplement the basic wool range.
Wentworth Distributors NZ Ltd. prides itself on maintaining the “Made in New Zealand” factor in our Naturally range and is always supporting local New Zealand wool producers wherever possible.
