It's here, it's here, it's here!!!

Imagine - wool from certified happy sheep!

Our new supply of certified Tasmanian Grown, Non-mulesed Pure Merino Wool has finally arrived. We are so very happy, and within minutes of it arriving, we had started knitting and haven't stopped! We need to really fill in all the colour gaps we accumulated as we ran down our last supply. Once thats done, the fun starts, as we play with new colour blends.

We also started to replenish our stocks  of our gorgeous Space Dye Mercerized Cotton Socks - We have two new colours Tomato and Charcoal. I guess we really should re-name them to more attractive or interesting sounding names like, I don't know, Watermelon or Pink Sky and Silver Ash or Grey Nomad. The knee high mercerised space dye will be re-stocked in the next couple of weeks.

Non-mulesed Tasmanian Merino so close...........




Our new supply of gorgeous certified Tasmanian grown non-mulesed merino will soon hit the Mongrel Sock knitting machines, and we can hardly wait. The artwork for the new swing tags has been done, and will shortly head off to the printer for production. We have worked hard to secure this new trackable sheep to shelf wool source. Not only have we been able to meet the highest animal welfare standards, & on farm ethical/sustainable practises, even our printer uses on soy based dyes with our card made of 65% recycled paper products. We are so excited! Our pure wool Mongrel Socks and Mongrel Tasmanis products have never looked so good.
