Colleen's Crafts Handspun yarns, hand dyed yarns, handdyed wooltops and natural coloured wooltops, Landscape dyes, handmade, machine knitting, woven scarves.

Working from home Studio. I occasionally work with raw fleeces, fully processing them from washing, picking to carding. My supply of wool tops for dyeing and/or spinning comes from local Corriedale or Merino tops that I need to outsource. Machine knit garments and accessories, and woven scarves. Markets I attend are Nagambie Farmers Market at Tahbilk Winery, Castlemaine artists Market , Girgarre and Violet Town. See my website for full details

For a long time now, I have been thinking about my retirement, and after coming home from the Bendigo sheep and wool show in July with way less stock, I figured this would be an opportune time to start the process. One of the yarns that I have used for machine knitwear has been discontinued and the wooltops that I have dyeing are out of stock. So that has made it easier to retire from the markets(I had dropped one at the beginning of the year). My website will remain open as I still have Landscapes dyes ,and I will still be handspinning lots of natural coloured yarns (I have a few fleeces to downsize). I may also produce natural coloured fleeces as batts. These will be made over the summer.
I will still attend the Milawa wool day in April, and the Shepparton fibre fair in June. I will attend the Bendigo sheep show in July as part of the North East Yarns with what I have in stock.
My crafts will continue. Some to sell, and some for me. So not a complete farewell, I will still be around.
I would like to thank all my supporters, customers and friends for sharing the adventure over the last 18 years.

After having a quiet day on Tuesday for my birthday, we headed off on a day trip to Snobs Creek Falls near Eildon. What a great surprise. Worth the trip and walk to see this. And a brief visit to Lake Nillahcootie near Benalla to see the spillway be ch ore heading home.

Just added some new yarns to the website. Also added a vest in the garment section.
The first yarn is a bit interesting. I picked up the wooltops at BWM on the way home after the The Australian Sheep and Wool Show
When I opened this pack I hadn't realised the fawny coloured fibre was not wool. Oh well, spun it anyway. Thought i would do a reasonable bulky spin. I think it could work well for some homewards eg cushions in weaving. But maybe someone out there could be interested. They are all heading to the market on Sunday at Girgarre.

It has been a battle of a year. I have been slow to update and post most of the time. I cancelled one of the markets I attend so I could visit more.
Finally after hitting a milestone of 92 years our mother Janet Tuohey succumbed peacefully on the morning of Wednesday 29th July. She is now at rest. Love you and will miss you mum xx😢💔💕

I have a couple of weeks before the next market and have been slowly updating the website before reopening.

Just letting you know, I have currently put my website in holiday mode while I get stock ready for the Bendigo Australian Sheep and Wool Show. I will be back after updating products following the Show. The shop is only open for emails and just looking, no purchases can be made directly.
