The carmine red sweater in Zooey is another great design from DanDoh called Bubbles. This pullover combines stocking stitch with eyelet lace inserts.
Anita is wearing her Magnolia Tee by knitting for Breakfast made in Luxor, a 100% mercerised Egyptian cotton.
Both Anita’s are ready to cast on their next project and we found some fabulous top down tee designs on Ravelry that we are all excited to see on the needles.
With new shades released for Spring it’s hard to settle on just one.
Anita left with her Wool Inn bag filled with enough yarn for two great new styles.

Feel good Friday... with a combined tally of over 70 years of experience and knowledge in the world of wool. Anita and Bess have been standing together, sharing in your projects, offering advice, colour therapy and help when needed.
We were nominated to be part of the exhibition of shopkeepers in Western Sydney for the opening of the Powerhouse Museum, Parramatta, November 2026.
This week we were notified we didn't make the cut, but the photographer emailed us some images that she had taken late last year.
For those of you who know how colourful The Wool Inn world is, this image is a stark contrast to our bright and beautiful reality.
Even after the decades spent behind the counter we are still smiling and grateful for our wonderful Wool Inn community.

Feel good Friday…is seeing the pieces come together to complete something unique to wear.
Tracy has been working on her Bloomsbury top by Tammy Hildebrand in Noro.
The top is joined as you go in floral crochet motifs to create the front and back panels.
A smaller motif fills the space between the larger blooms.
The side gussets and sleeves are then crocheted onto the centre motif panel.
Tracy popped instore to compare her version with Anita’s Bloomsbury top we have on display in the Zauberball cotton 4ply. Bess made it for Anita in a gradient dyed yarn which is the perfect choice to watch each motif bloom.
