Debbie Green owns Weebits and has been producing hand-knitted Merino baby and children’s wear in New Zealand since 2008. Their team of talented ladies produce the items in their own homes, primarily around Wellington where and Geraldine in the South. They have their knitting needles on the go all year round to ensure people from all over the world can enjoy Weebits natural garments.
Weebits clothing items are knitted using 100% Pure Merino Wool from a small factory in Lower Hutt-Woolyarns NZ. The yarn is dyed using environmentally friendly dyes that do not include heavy metal chemicals in the dying process that is better for children and the environment.
A range of nursery items using Stansborough Grey wool from Wairarapa has recently been added to Weebits. These are very rare sheep and there are no added dyes to the wool.
Weebits has also taken a strong stand in its operation to be as eco-friendly as possible and will continue to use New Zealand made yarn and produce the goods locally.
