We had a wonderful two days at the Campbell Town Show celebrating wool, community and rural traditions. We loved seeing our pieces featured in the vibrant AWI Fashion Parade and catching up with so many familiar faces.

Congratulations to our own Madeleine Scott (Snowhill), whose family won the trophy for Best Wool Fleece, 18.5 microns or finer, and to one of our treasured consignors, Elizabeth Biddell, who took out the Tasmanian Wool Centre first prize for her beautifully hand-knitted baby shawl.

A great day celebrating the very best of Tasmanian wool. 🐑

Please note we’ll be closed for Stocktake on Wednesday, 3 June. We’ll be open as normal every other day. 🐑

Country shows have always been part of life in rural Tassie. A place where farming, wool, community and tradition all come together for a day.

We’re proud to once again be part of the Campbell Town Show this year, with beautiful pieces featuring on the AWI Fashion Parade catwalk at 11am and 2pm on Saturday, May 30.

As continuing proud sponsors of Sports Shear and the Exhibition Hall, it’s a privilege to support a tradition that celebrates the people behind Australian wool. The growers, shearers, makers and country communities that keep it all going. See you at the show. ❤️
