A new release from Professor Robert Crawford, 'A Good Yarn - An Entwined History of Bendigo Woollen Mills’, explores the history of 3 interconnected Mills: 

     Part 1: The Rise and Demise of Yarra Falls.

     Part 2: The Rise and Survival of Wangaratta Woollen Mills.

     Part 3: The Rise and Rise of Bendigo Woollen Mills.

Featuring archive photography, interviews with staff past and present, and exclusive insights into the history and processes at each mill. A Good Yarn explains how, through ingenuity and innovation, Bendigo Woollen Mills has become a household name in the Australian knitting and crocheting community.

A perfect gift for history buffs or the yarn-lover in your life!

 

“I wanted the history of Bendigo Woollen Mills to be recorded but soon realized that other mills with much longer histories had a far greater influence on the history of woollen processing in Australia. This book is dedicated to their legacy.”

- Colin Walker, owner and co-founder of Bendigo Woollen Mills.
