My love for wool began when I was growing up on our sheep property in the Riverina and it has never abated! I worked in the shearing shed as a child and loved the smell and feel of freshly shorn wool. My grandmother taught me to knit and crochet at an early age and for most of my adult years I have enjoyed spinning, knitting, felting and creating wool garments.
 

In 1995 my husband Bob and I purchased, relocated and restored the old timber School in Gerringong and established the Wool Workshop which became a mecca for all fibre craftspeople. The textile gallery retailed beautiful hand-crafted garments, our extensive workshop program was very successful and we also stocked spinning, weaving, felting and knitting supplies.

​

I thoroughly enjoyed tutoring and indulging my wool passion and we achieved an excellent reputation for our high quality textiles, winning many awards as a tourist destination.

​

After ten years we sold the Old Schoolhouse Wool Workshop to focus our energies on the expanding mail order business which now had over 2000 customers because we had also purchased the New Zealand branch of Glenora craft

This added another dimension to this very busy textile hub.

​

So, I’m still able to indulge my wool passion after almost fifty years working and creating in the textile and fibre world, I hope that you can have this pleasure also!
