Woolcraft at the Australian Sheep & Wool Show began in 1972 when the wives of the sheep breeders decided they needed to show their creations with the wool their husbands were so proud of. Don’t miss the special exhibit that will be on display at the show to celebrate this milestone.
We would also like to extend a congratulation to the Wangaratta Handweavers and Spinners and the Shepparton and District HWSG on their 40th anniversaries. Please let us know if there are other groups celebrating an anniversary, so that they can be recognised.

Proudly presented by the Australian Sheep Breeders’ Association
