The Lucky Ewe @ Oatlands Handmade has re-opened for the Spring 2013 Season at wonderful up-town Oatlands. We are starting to see visitors wandering around guide books in hand, and bags of flour are coming down from the Mill to be put in car boots. The boyz at the Pancake and Crepe Shop next door just haven't stopped all winter and are becoming the "must stop" on the way through to Launceston.<br />
<br />
I've decided to pull back the shop a bit this year - it's just been all too hard with what has been a difficult last 6 months : we will miss Graeme so much as he was always about to put out Tilly and Shawn and bring them in at night and the presence of The Shearer sitting in the corner of the shop and chatting to visitors about sheep and wool will be a huge gap almost too much to bear. So I have moved everything around!<br />
<br />
Only one room now : all woolly; and my workroom has come upstairs to be part of the business. I can now sit and look out the window past Shawn and spin on the new "vacuum cleaner", my <em>Ashford Country Spinner 2</em> wot we bought at Bothwell before Graeme went to hospital. (I had saved up for a Dyson, but the Country Spinner won out and Grum said I could have it - thanks my darling!).<br />

Hello to all our followers and regular visitors! I am regretfully letting you know that our last trading day for the Summer Season at Oatlands Handmade's High Street Shop will be Tuesday 26th February 2013. We have a family health issue (not me) to be managed, and rather than open/shut/open/shut and muck about with trading hours, the decision has been regretfully made to close the physical shop early. (I usually close for winter at the end of May). The <a href="http://www.oatlandshandmade.com.au/" target="_blank">Online Shops</a> will remain trading though and I will still blog - as soon as I can get internet out <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/fwijp" target="_blank">at the farm</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://theluckyewe.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">The Lucky Ewe</a> will be out and about - Bothwell Spin-In next weekend will be the first, then we hope to be at the Jordan River Farm's "Big Woolly Day Out" at the School Farm, Main Road Brighton on Saturday 13th April. I have applied for some Market spots over the Autumn/Winter and of course, we hope to return to the Tasmanian Craft Fair at Deloraine for more fun, demos and woolly stuff.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, many many thanks to everyone for their continued support and love! I'll keep you posted. :)</div>

Looks like we may have to wait another week to re-open :( <br />
.................As our wonderful visitors know, the little shop is housed in a beautiful old (1840s - 1870) sandstone cottage in the heart of Oatlands, Tassie. Along with the joy of historic accoms comes the responsibility of maintenance....we need repairs to the front window of the shop and the stone mason says next week is it! No way I can dress the shop and open next Friday with the wonderful Guy and David on-site and in the front room! So, watch this space - I think a week will do it and we'll aim for the 14th. Please email/post if you need anything or go to <a href="http://www.oatlandshandmade.com.au/">www.oatlandshandmade.com.au</a> I'm only a phone call away.<br />

Look what our new friend Rosemary, from Western Australia, has made from the TasWild Batt of blended Tasmanian Superfine Merino fibre and Tassie Pademelon fur we sent her last week! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It's gorgeous Rosemary...and thanks so much for your feedback and for sharing with us!<br />

I just love making my Tas Wild batts...blending our Tasmanian Superfine merino tops with the gorgeous fur from native possum and wallaby...(if they have to be culled, please, it must be OK to use the fur which normally would just be thrown away). I make each batt to order and gently blend the fibres so that the result is, I think, better than silk! The results are stunning - so soft, warm,light and utterly unique! If you would like one too, just go to our on-line shop at oatlandshandmade.com.au, or email me for the blends available.</div>

I have orders for Wild Fibre TasMagic Batts from Western Australia (thanks Rosemary - I'm working fast!) and Sally in the Sunshine State wants some custom-dyed 18.5 micron and some Leicester Curls...I'm onto it.<br />
<br />
We have received a shipment of 4 ply yarn too which needs to be made joyous with colour and ready for the spring and the 8 ply shouldn't be far off.<br />
<br />
Add to that, spinning for an hour every morning and evening as well as changing all the shop around ready for opening on 7th September! WHEW!<br />

As well as the WGW gorgeous natural wool top and samples of the scrumptious yarns we will have available, it was the first outing for the new colour pallette designed for WGW by <a href="http://textisletarts.com.au/blog/?page_id=2" target="_blank"><strong>Wendy Koolhof</strong></a><strong>.</strong> These stunning hues were developed with the Midlands Landscape as inspiration and are available as 100g packs of hand-dyed top right now and will be echoed in our new knitting yarn range (available hopefully by end July). I was gobsmacked too when the Fashion Parade started - there were our colours echoed in the "on trend" colours for the season....thanks Wendy!<br />

For weeks now, the WGW Team has been working feverishly to have our garments ready for the Australian Wool Innovation Fashion Parades at the Show. Designer/Felters Sue Evans (Launceston) and <a href="http://studiosvenja.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>Svenja</strong></a> (Queensland) and weaver moi ( <a href="http://handmadebyrowena.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>Rowena</strong></a>) at Oatlands Handmade have been working with WGW Fibre to create a small collection of original garments. We were stunned by the reception to our results - the comments at the Parades was very very encouraging and we have been invited back next year! <strong>Our thanks</strong> must go also to <strong>Robyn Quill</strong> of <a href="http://www.visitross.com.au/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=80" target="_blank"><strong>Laincot</strong></a> at Ross whose stylish, comfortable and unique jeans partnered several of the outfits.</div>

Oatlands Handmade's High Street Shop will be closed Saturday week 11th Feb 2012 as we will be having fun in a tent at the <a href="http://www.heritagehighwaytasmania.com.au/national-working-bullock-festival/" target="_blank"><strong>National Working Bullock Festival</strong></a>. There will be a plethora (favourite word LOL) of displays stalls and activities based around the "olden days" theme so we will be spinning and weaving and selling our fleece fibre and yarns in the paddock on the corner of the Midland Highway and the Interlaken Road on the highway at Oatlands. Look out for the big illuminated sign.<br />
