25.01.2022 Here are some photos of scarves made by our members for the scarf exchange. These were posted to South Australia.

22.01.2022 For those visiting Wangaratta or who live there. At the moment there is an Miniatures exhibition on at the gallery in Ovens Street. There are lots of woven articles. The picture is to tempt your curiosity... (Warning Ovens and Docker Street corner is blocked due to road works till the 30th June!!!)

14.01.2022 In the absence of Bendigo/Spendigo (Australian Sheep & Wool Show) this year a few of the indie dyers and fluff/yarn sellers have got together to assemble THE BIG WOOL SHOW as an online event! There are heaps of vendors from all over Australia and the event will run from Friday 17th-Monday 20th July. (Starts tomorrow! Eeek!) There will be speakers, livestreams as well as everyone's fluffy goods on offer. :) :) So, you can stay warm at home and still browse through everyone's ...products! (And no queue for the loo.....) It is a FREE event (well.... unless you purchase fluff.... lol) Website ---> www.thebigwoolshow.com Facebook Event ---> https://www.facebook.com/events/801633317035206/ See more

If you are interested even if you want to see what others do, please contact our president and she can send you the link.
