We'll have to do matching Mongrel Tasmanis deal.

Or even better a mongrel Mongrel Tasmanis deal. We should call it after our Mary and name it Our Right Royal deal, each of our pure merino wool products... e.g.

A beanie thats not, but is and more...

Actually it's one of our gorgeous pure merino wool neckwarmers, simply rubber-banded on one end, turned inside out and on it goes. Multi tasking fair and square or really quite groovy, me thinks. And lets not forget warm!

Posting ( it must be Xmas) and playing...

Not much production going on in the sweatshop in the last few days. Well, plenty of knitting but we're a bit slow on the finishing. Never mind, they're not going anywhere half done. But lots of packing & posting off our web and wholesale orders, yep, Xmas is here. I feel a lot like Santa with my sacks of parcels. TG for the lovely staff at our local Post Office, they let me park and lug in via the back door. Sure makes my life much easier.

Customers are gold.

Our customers are gold. Never failing to put a spring in our step, and shine on our days. Here's a few of the comments we've recently had the pleasure to get.......

Just bought some more socks (tuff mongrels) for work.was surprised at how cool woolen socks can be despite being in heavy work boots all day.i got a pair while on honeymoon in Tasmania and loved them, had to get more. Have 6 pairs once these one arrive. Surely thats not the end of it.love the colours too. I work night shifts so a bright colour makes me smile. if there's any new colours that come out i think i shall have to snap them up too.

Just wanted to leave a comment. Whoever did all the writing for your website did such an excellent job, I had to comment. The opening line that went something like, "You can stop looking because you've found it," really got my attention - and I've been shopping for socks and I have seen a lot of websites! Also, the descriptive paragraphs for the socks was so well written; it sold me on your merchandise and I also appreciated the friendly tone. Please pass my compliment on to the writer.

Just a big thank you for the quick delivery on socks and head warmers a couple of weeks ago.The socks feel and look great. Some have gone off to a European winter with my daughter and the rest to my sister and her family in Morocco , so I should get some good feedback about their warmth,
thanks again,
Robyn.

Nice!

When a sheep is a cowl......

Yay, just about to begin our 2nd run of our range of gorgeous Pure Tasmanian Wool Loop Scarves and Neck Warmers aka Cowls. The first edition has been selling well, so well in-fact that we really need to stock up again soon. We're looking forward to experimenting with some new colour mixes as well as re-doing the current selection.

 

busy, busy....

My inbox

From a delightful customer. How nice is it that she bothered to tell me her tale?

 
I am in Dragons Abreast Sydney, a dragonboating club for survivors of breast cancer. In 2010, nine women from my club trained for 10 months and then travelled to Canada to compete in the Yukon River Quest, a 746km marathon, 24 hour a day paddle along the Yukon River through the Canadian wilderness. None of these women had ever done anything like this in their lives, and most of them had never even paddled before having breast cancer and joining Dragons Abreast. Their ages ranged from the youngest at forty nine years to the oldest at sixty six. The conditions last year in the Yukon Quest were the worst since the Quest had first begun with cold, wet weather for the entire sixty eight hours it took them to complete the quest. This meant they had to be prepared clothing wise for the worst and coldest conditions they had ever experienced. They had all bought Mongrel Pure Wool Socks and wore them all throughout the quest. They love their Mongrels, and continue to swear by them.

We are currently doing our winter dragonboat training down on Blackwattle Bay in Sydney. We are on the water at dusk and again at the crack of dawn for training. They wear their Mongrels to every training session. As the winter has become colder and colder, I have developed a severe case of Mongrel Sock envy!!! This is why I am now here on your website, just about to order my first very own pair of Mongrels!!!

I hope you liked this story.

All the best,
Shannon
