They are made from recycled saris, no two are the same and can be used for a wee little floor mat for your treasured pet too. They are available online for $20 at https://merchantcampbell.com.au/ or just message them directly on insta/fb! #buyfromthebush #christmasshopping #christmas #drought #droughtrelief

@millpostmerino sell super fine merino yarn from their merino sheep property near Bungendore, NSW. In the spirit of full transparency, the only time we have used yarn is to plait friendship bracelets in year six BUT we hold firm aspirations to one day be the type of women who knit socks for new babies and blankets for sick friends. In the meantime we are considering Christmas themed friendship bracelets 🤗. You can buy these balls of yarn for $25.96 (100gms) on their online store www.millpostmerino.com. #buyfromthebush #christmas #christmasshopping #drought #droughtrelief #stuffthedrought
