We have been growing wool in the Melrose region since the 1860's around Bartagunyah and that builds a kind of love for the stuff.
Our focus is on local australian adventure wool products that are lovely to wear, look great, and operate well under duress. Wool you can roam through the mountains in and arrive back at the wine bar looking like you are dressed for an evening passagiata..
We are the only australians to stock the fantastic io-bio wool range developed by the well known Michell Family. This is finally a product that is comparable with the well marketed Icebreaker range from New Zealand minus the big price tag. Come and check it out today or look on the web and give us a call.. We also have great local wool and beautiful products from merinoskins, merinosnug, wooly mongrels, smartwool and sherpa.
11 Reasons why we are passionate about wool.
1. It is soooo comfortable to wear, it breathes, allowing your body to cool comfortably without out trapping moisture. It feels great to wear a natural product.
2. Wool looks fantastic. Styles to suit everyone. From the farmer in his/her Merino Snug pullover styled long to keep the kidneys warm to high fashion gorgeous wraps combined with possum and alpaca for extra softness, or the sporty outdoor sleek look of Io-Bio.
3. Most woollen clothing does not need ironing. It has natural recovery because each fibre is resilient and springy. This provides stretch and elasticity.
4. Its recyclable. You can compost your old woolly jumpers.
5. It's a local product and by buying from us you are supporting woolgrowers in our district
6. Its easy to look after. Most clothes can be thrown in the wash on wool cycle
7. It lasts and lasts and lasts. I am still wearing my woolen spencers bought from Hedrena in 1999 that I wear nearly every day in winter
8. Because moisture isn't trapped next to the skin, wool prevents the woof under the arms.
9. It's warm for its weight and warm when its wet.
10. Its fire resistant. Great pyjamas for kids . If exposed to heat the fibre will smoulder but does not burn readily. The low flammability is due to the high nitrogen to oxygen ratio.
11. Wool will absorb up to one third of its weight before becoming saturated. Paradoxically it will also shed spills due to its microscopic structure.
