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!

It was feed time for the ewes and these little lambs were playing up on their mums! (They looked like little kids at a playground!)

A few of the mums came running in to pull them back into line! 😂😂

They are growing very quickly given the oldest ones are just over a month old. 🐑🐑🐑

We've had a bit of a change of tactics this lambing season. It's been very hands on but the success rate has been much higher than the last few years.

In saying that, we are VERY happy to report that we only have 5 more ewes left to lamb and lots of very happy and healthy lambs running in the sun today!

This is Mambo #005 and her little girl born early this morning. 🐑🐑

Make sure you've booked your The Australian Sheep and Wool Show tickets for 17th-19th July.
