22.01.2022 Look at this simple, quick knit. A double-sided cowl in two skeins of The Fibre Co. Cirro. When knitted in two colours, you then have three different ways of wearing it. And the best part ... it’s sooooo soft.

21.01.2022 Gorgeous new sock pattern available called Ryndell Socks using my high twist merino sock yarn in Aruba. A few more colours to tempt you!Posted @withr...egram @kbjdesigns So, I've just published my newest pattern today. Introducing.... Ryndell Socks. They were inspired by the gentle movement created by water as it flows peacefully over a creek bed. This year I've decided to use more Aussie Indie yarns in my designs. And this gorgeous yarn is by @glenheavenknits in their Aruba colourway. Isn't the colour just glorious??? The pattern is available through Ravelry, Etsy, Payhip and my Website. You'll find the links to all the stores in my profile, if you're interested. See more

20.01.2022 We are in week 7 of our Mill working machinery tour..... stay tuned as we are almost at the finish line! PHASE 7 - THE CONE WINDER Built by Thomas Holt Ltd, ...in Rochdale England in about 1940, our machine spent most of it’s previous life in Geelong VIC @ The McGregor’s Mill, before coming to Nundle Woollen Mill in the late 1990’s. The Cone Winding machine is used to wind the dyed and dried yarn hanks onto cones ready for balling. Machine knitters love this coned yarn as it will fit directly onto their machines, or if you love a long continuous length for a larger project, the coned yarn also very handy indeed! #NundleNSW #buyfromthebush #historicmachinery #textilemachinery #tours #LoveNSW #roadtrip #merinowoold #knitters #australianmade

It’s a little bit eclectic just like the downstairs yarn shop and maybe just a few botanical touches here and there to create a calming space . But turn off the main lights and just have the festoon lights and it might just have a party kinda feel I’ll share some more pics in the weeks to come. And as always, thanks to handy hubby for all the back breaking work See more

06.01.2022 Welcome back to our weekly Historic Machine Tour.. PHASE 2: Today we feature Izzy and Vicky working The Carding Machine. Built by the Platt Co. in 1914 at ...Oldham England and purchased in 1989 from Geelong. The Carding process mixes and opens the mass of wool to individual fibres. The fibres are then assembled into a web at the end of the Scribber (first) section. The large metal rollers in the Parelta section are used to crush any vegetable matter in the fibre web. Down the line, the machine further mixes and opens the fibres using the fine wires of the worker and stripper rollers. The fibres are stripped off the carding section by the doffer roller and comb to produce a fine fibre web of constant weight and evenness. This fine web is then split into 100 narrow strips by the tapes in the condenser section before being rubbed with a false twist into the first structure of Yarn, (also known around here as cheese yarn) and wound into cheeses on one of the four levels of the card spools. We wind about 1000 metres of continuous rubbed yarn from each strip onto the spool, which is roughly about 100 km’s of yarn produced every two working hours! Our Tours in the Mill operate Mon Fri, pre-bookings are essential in advance to avoid disappointment.
