great another hipster trying to revive an industry that died for a reason. wool is scratchy and nobody wants it

this is actually cool. love seeing people bring back traditional skills instead of shipping everything to china

Casey Adams2026-06-22T23:21:44.000Z

funny you say that while typing on a phone made in china 😂

Sage Lawson2026-06-22T23:11:44.000Z

yeah nah the wool industry has been screwed for decades. good on her for trying something different

Aria Wilson2026-06-22T23:34:44.000Z

i hope it works out. would be nice to buy local tweed instead of import crap

Aria Wilson2026-06-23T00:26:44.000Z

where's the optimism gone? she's creating jobs, that's a win

fff sake another feel good story while farmers are going broke. try paying us a living wage for wool first

Sage Lawson2026-06-23T00:45:44.000Z

jesus christ mate have a snickers. someone doing something positive and you're still angry

Phoenix Reid2026-06-23T00:17:44.000Z

aww i love this. patrizia sounds like a gem. might pop down to tinui and see the mill

Reese Morgan2026-06-23T00:23:44.000Z

I've seen ten of these fail. talk to me when she turns a profit

Sophie Ngata2026-06-23T00:26:44.000Z

bout time someone added value on farm instead of selling raw wool for pennies. hope she succeeds
