Campbell Town Show 2025 – That’s a wrap! 🐑

The Tasmanian Wool Centre was proud to once again take part in the AWI Fashion Parade - a show highlight we’re thrilled to be involved in every year. This year’s parade was a true celebration of wool, with our models styled head to toe, right down to @emuaustralia wool sneakers! A fantastic showcase of the beauty, versatility and sustainability of Australian wool.

A heartfelt congratulations to one of our Board of Directors, Georgina Wallace of Trefusis at Ross, whose stud had a hugely successful show - taking out Grand Champion Fleece (for the 10th time!) and a swathe of ribbons across several categories. Georgina’s leadership and dedication to the Merino industry continues to inspire us and so many others.

We’re also proud to celebrate our talented team:
– Petrisse Leckie, 2nd in Open Woolhandling
– Madeleine Scott, six firsts, two seconds and a third across produce, photography, and baked goods in the Exhibition Hall
– Jessica Newton, our Manager, 2nd in both the Knitted Jumper or Cardigan category and Knitted Accessory category for her stunning hand-knits

Special mention to Simone Mansfield, Ross local and recipient of this year’s Tasmanian Wool Centre Prize in the Exhibition Hall - well done, Simone!

And a final cheer for our longtime supplier and extraordinary woolgrower Nan Bray of @whitegumwool whose superfine fleece (18.5 micron or finer) was awarded the Vitale Barberis Canonico Fleece Award.

A huge thank you and congratulations to everyone involved - the Campbell Town Show is a true showcase of the passion, talent and community spirit at the heart of Tasmania’s wool industry. See you next year! 🐏✨

New season, new wool! Step out of the chill and into something warm - in store or online. Jim approves 🐑

If you've already met our chilly door ram, you'll know the drill - scarf still growing, fire still (fakely) blazing, and the Knitting with Jim corner still as cosy as Nan's lounge.

From now until 31 August, there's a scarf to be knit! So pop in, stitch a row, and soak up the warm fuzzies - felted biscuits, retro knitting patterns, and all. See you soon! #tassieoffseason #knitforjim

Knit for Jim 🧶

Jim’s our resident door ram and yes, he’s still standing loyally by the front door — and he’s cold. This Off Season, help us knit him the longest, cosiest scarf in Tassie history. The woolly guy in the photos? That’s not Jim, but he’s doing a great job modelling the vibe.

Free sessions in our snug little nook — needles, yarn, and quiet knitting time supplied.
