It's The Blossoming!

Shedding the doona and outer wear, we enter a short, vital few weeks of the year when a surprising amount of activity happens for all living beings.

At Tarndie the lambs are weaned and boosting in size daily. Roses & fruit trees pruned late. Dye house reactivated. Crafty Sundays attendees soak up sunshine outdoors again.
Paddock grasses stretching upwards.

Springtime is a glorious time to stay a night and feel The Blossoming!
Bookings in The Farmers Cottage (2 bedroom) and The Stables Studio (1 bedroom) available.

It's never too early to start learning!

This little lady had a lesson into what will happen to her wool in a couple of years time.

She was also surprised to learn that she is sleeping within metres of our wool shop that is open Mon, Thurs, Fri & Sat 10am-1pm and 24/7 online.

And even more surprised to learn that people can come and stay on her farm! 😉😉

We just wanted to say a massive thank-you to all of you who turned up at Bendigo and supported us with our push for Polwarth yarn! 🐑🐑🧶🧶❤️❤️

If was lovely to have so many positive interactions with lots of familiar faces and Tarndie friends and it was great seeing our yarn being worn around the sheep show!

We never know what to expect as we pack up our entire shop and drag it up the highway! 🙂🙂

Our icey cold mornings start very early on show days and that gives us a bit of a chance to sneak around and have a look at what you guys get to enjoy during the day. Here's a few odd snaps of some of the things we came across before our stall opened!

A big thanks from all of us at Tarndie!
