I’m taking you with me to the Australian Sheep & Wool Show in Bendigo, Victoria — and honestly, if you’re a yarn person, this is basically heaven. I filmed it over two days so you can really see what the vibe is like: market stalls as far as the eye can see, indie dyers, fibre artists, tools, and all the woolly goodness (plus plenty of inspiration if you crochet, knit, spin, or just love looking at yarn). I also wander through the show to admire the sheep breeds and soak up that classic “big wool event” energy. Then we get to the best bit: the haul. I share what I picked up and where it came from, including yarn and bits from stalls like Cat and Sparrow Fibres, I Cast Mending, White Rabbit Handmade, Changeling Coloured Yarns, Pirate Purl Yarns, Wagtail Yarns, and more. If you’re into budget-friendly crafting, this is a great watch for planning your shopping strategy, spotting what’s worth your time at a huge market, and getting ideas for future projects. And if you want a cosy make to go with all this fibre inspiration, I also link my Kindred Spirits Cowl pattern so you can jump straight into stitching.
