The mill is the last coloured woollen spinning mill of its kind in Australia, designing and manufacturing since 1947. And its new tour, ‘A Very Fine Yarn’, means you can now go on the journey of fibre all the way from the Alpaca to the shop shelf.

If you’re after some knitted bargains, check out the newly expanded knitwear store for an expansive selection of natural-fibre fashion and be sure to feed the alpacas at 11am and 2pm daily!

Open 7 days, 9am-5pm at Railway Parade, Creswick. http://www.creswickwool.com/
