The historic wool growing property Tarndwarncoort creates a timeless setting for an age old staple of the wardrobe.
Watch teams of skilled crafters make a woollen jumper in front of your eyes direct from the sheep’s back. Enjoy food, drinks and market stalls at the event.
You will witness two Victorian teams take part in the annual event that challenges teams of wool crafters around the globe to create a jumper directly from a sheep’s back to a human’s back.
Each team consists of a blade shearer, a country-of-origin sheep and seven hand spinners (with spinning wheels) and knitters who follow the identical challenge rules and pattern to knit the adult size jumper.
Each team must complete this jumper in the shortest time possible.
