30 years of spinning yarn? More like 30 years of spinning bullshit. Bet she's just a rich hobby farmer.
nah get stuffed. It's actually a proper industry. Do some research
but have you felt Gotland wool? It's next level soft. Not just any hobby mate
Honestly mad respect for anyone who sticks with something for 30 years. Llamas are cool too 🦙
RNZ really scraping the bottom of the barrel for feel-good stories these days. Must be a slow news cycle
to their own but better than another story about some politician's haircut

Good on her eh. Southland needs more people like this keeping traditional crafts alive
My missus spins wool. It's bloody therapeutic actually. Would love to see the llamas
found the hipster spinner. Off to your farmer's market mate
Let me guess, she's selling overpriced scarves at the local market? No thanks.
Llamas > alpacas any day. Change my mind
wool is lovely but llamas have more personality. Fight me
