April 2010

The year continues to fly by and thankfully our yarn is flying by as well. Frank, our loyal and dedicated production manager, along with his production team have the mill humming, keeping up well with the influx of new orders received on-line and to our local call number 1300 N-U-N-D-L-E (1300 686 353). It is an exciting time for us, as one of the last Australian Made yarn manufacturers left in Australia, it is so reassuring to be appreciated by so many knitters and crocheters around Australia and further a field.

Wild Tea CosiesKeep an eye out for the latest edition (April) of Australian Women’s Weekly, on pages 234-237, you will find a pattern for a tea cosy that appears on the front cover of the Loani Prior’s latest release ‘Really Wild Tea Cosies’. This tea cosy has been made using our Nundle yarn which is absolutely fantastic for us here in Nundle.

If you are a keen knitter (beginners to advanced are welcome) and are looking for a great couple of days of knitting with the Really Wild Tea Cosy master, Loani Prior, here is your exclusive chance. Loani is visiting Nundle to hold a ‘Really Wild Tea Cosies’ workshop on 21-23 May, 2010. The numbers are limited to just 12 spaces, and we have already have confirmed bookings for 5 knitters, so if you are interested, register today by emailing woollenmill@nundle.com with your details. The cost of $180.00 includes all tuition, morning and afternoon teas along with afternoon aperitifs, which based on last years event, were much appreciated after a day of learning new skills and knitting techniques. This event will fill quickly, so if you have any interest, come along you will have a great time.

Easter time in Nundle is huge, we have the Nundle Go For Gold Chinese Festival which will be another great event for our little village. The 2010 Festival will feature a 15 metre Dragon and 2 two-person Lions performing their energetic and colourful dances. These dances are usually performed by martial artists who have the strength and skill to make the various moves and express the range of moods of the dragon and the lions. The Sydney based Australian Yau Mun Chinese Martial Arts Association Inc. will be performing the dances at this years festival. It will be a sensational event so if you are in the area, we would love to see you on either Easter Saturday or Easter Sunday.

The new fashion collection for winter 2010 of knitwear, coats, scarves and socks have arrived and we are bursting at the seams with fantastic new looks, colours and fits. Our Mill shop has one of the largest offerings of wool knitwear in Australia so if you are looking for something warm and cosy, stylish and colourful or simply NOW, we have it at the Nundle Woollen Mill. Our range of brands is extensive and well priced – The beautiful cashmere & merino blends by Sheer Bliss are to die for, the Hedrena Australian Made knitwear is wonderful to wear and will simply last forever, the Toorallie knits are simple but stylish, the Merino Mink knitwear from New Zealand is stunning, while more affordable lines of Jump, Bridge & Lord, Fields & Gitane offer sensational value for money. Come and see us, you will be pleasantly surprised.

Are you in need of some wool socks this winter? Our NUNDLE socks come with a 30 day “money back, no questions asked” guarantee. If you don’t like them for whatever season (i.e. too comfortable or not itchy enough compared to your current socks!!!), we will happily give your money back. Last year we sold more than 1000 pairs and the only time we heard from our customers, was when they were ordering more. We also stock Crookwell made ‘Lindner socks’, Tasmania’s ‘Mongrel Socks’ & Victoria’s famous ‘Stockpile Outback Socks’. We also stock loose top (without the tight band) socks for our diabetic friends or for people who suffer from poor blood circulation. We can cater for you all this winter.

If we can assist you in any way, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are a friendly crew and would love the opportunity to help you with any of your requirements.

We hope you and your families have a great Easter and the Easter bunny treats you all well.

All the best from The Nundle Woollen Mill Team
