Woolyarns is humbled to be inducted into the 2025 2degrees Wellington Regional Business Excellence Awards – Hall of Fame, sponsored by New Zealand Media & Entertainment (NZME). This recognition shows what’s possible when a mill with a long history stays focused, keeps innovating, and maintains strong customer relationships.

Our story has been shaped by many people including the long stewardship of the Wood family and the direction from our newer leadership team. Their combined effort has taken us from developing merino–possum yarns in the 1990's to opening our cashmere fibre processing plant in 2023, while continuing to adapt through global challenges.

What hasn’t changed is our focus. We continue to produce specialised natural-fibre yarns for commercial knitters and weavers in New Zealand and overseas, supported by our Toitū Gold-certified environmental systems and a commitment to responsible production.

To everyone who has contributed along the way, thank you. This recognition is shared with you, and we look forward to the next chapter.

It was great to be part of Business for Good this week and learn about other Wellington businesses and their journey to becoming B-corp certified.

More than 85% of New Zealand’s exports by value are going to countries with environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting requirements.
ESG regulations are rapidly coming into force internationally and this is likely to continue to increase.

To continue to meet these requirements and succeed offshore, Kiwi businesses need to be market ready.

Our Business for Good programme supports companies on their sustainability journey giving them the tools they need.

This week we ran workshops with a range of businesses supported by Sharesies, Chapman Tripp, Peoples Coffee ,Goodnature and Kowtow.
