Down Under Babe

Our collab with Australian model and uber knitter Rachel Rutt oozes summer fun! It’s bohemian, colourful and made with our super soft Shiny Happy Cotton.


Full of fun and guaranteed to make you happy while wearing, the Rachel Rutt Collection is a combination of her own laid back, relaxed vibe with offbeat colour combos and more than a big ol’ splash of fun.

“We teamed up with Rachel Rutt because we wanted to bring that bohemian free spirited vibe to the collection, she’s a mega cool knitter and we love her freestyle creations,” Jade Harwood, Co-Founder and Creative Director Wool and the Gang.

Each piece of the collection has been sustainably produced and hand-knitted by our Gang of makers using WATG’s soft Shiny Happy Cotton, which is 100% Pima Peruvian yarn.

Australia is my home. I will spend my whole life exploring it’s beauty. This collection is a celebration of its natural wonder through simple, light textures. Each piece is designed for ease and comfort, in both knitting and wearing.” Rachel Rutt

Every garment is also available as an easy-to-knit Knit Kit. Choose from delicate tunics, soft sweaters and chunky-knitted bikinis for an instant injection of Australian spirit.

“Collaborating with WATG is a union of two things I greatly love: knitting and Australian summer. Knitting is a communication of heart — through hands and needles flows a direct link from the heart to the outside world. It enables me to share a part of myself that can’t be expressed through words, and brings a peace that I want to share with others. Australia is my home.”
