Items
in the store are highly individualistic with members often creating
their own designs using hand spun and hand dyed wools. Many of the
members have regularly been awarded high praise at local and interstate
Agricultural Shows. The Co-op is especially proud of Jo Payne's work,
one of her woven rugs now resides with Princess Mary in Denmark.
