Nundle Woollen Mill

The Nundle Woollen Mill is a must visit. It is the only working woollen Mill in Australia. The tour takes you through the process from the raw wool through to coloured balls of yarn on the shelf. Nick the owner also talked about the history of the machines used. Very informative and interesting. The lady on the front counter was very welcoming and friendly. There was such a good variety of woollen products for sale.

This family owned business is a treat to experience. We intended a visit five years ago but with bushfires raging down the coast we were forced to move on. Fast forward to 2024 , the visit did not disappoint. Our host Nick gave us a friendly and informative run-down of wool production from source to shelf. Everything was explained at a level everyone could appreciate. This is a hardworking, thoughtful, lovely couple and team who are doing their best to preserve the only accessible woollen mill in Australia, using totally Australian resources. Keep up the good work, guys! I’ll enjoy spinning your Tassie wool!

A great tour of the Nundle Woollen Mills. The tour was informative and captivating and we had a great tour guide. (Was the owner I think).

He walked us through the entire process of creating the product starting from the raw wool and taking us all the way through to the finished goods. Much of the process is carried out by vintage machines. It was fascinating to see how these machines have been preserved and maintained to create high quality wool products.
Great admission price & lovely products able to be purchased
I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone thinking of visiting the area. (And the staff are lovely).

Excellent tour by the owner who has both a deep knowledge of the wool business and a real passion for the industry.
Some great merchandise for sale there as well.
Highly recommended.

Great tour about wool from the sheep's back to the little ball of wool on the shelf. Wonderful experience to see the over one hundred year old machines working to create their wool. End product is beautiful and so many colours to choose from. Buy Australian!

Great tour, interesting history, very friendly and well-informed staff. Very cheap entry cost which you can get back at the end with a small purchase. Well worth visiting, even for non-knitters/sewers

Went to visit this Wonderful Place. Family run.
Check website for Talk Times. The excellent talk goes for around 45mins.
Wonderful shop to find perfect gifts .
Coffee shops within Walking distance of only 2 minutes. And, don’t forget to pick up their best ever to wear socks. So comfy.

What a wonderful experience we had visiting Nundle Woollen Mill. Informative tour, beautiful products for sale, highly recommended. There is a coffee shop nearby.

Had a fabulous tour of Nundle Woollen Mill. Our guide Isobel (who runs the machines) was extremely knowledgeable and with her beautiful Scottish voice explained the process from start to finish. It is the only woollen mill that takes the process from the cleaned, scoured wool they receive from the washing plant in Victoria and then cards it, turns it into thread/yarn then dyes and finishes into balls of wool.
Of course, we bought some of their goods…gloves, socks and balls of wool to knit or crochet.

Worth a visit to the wool mill, amazing people and had a wonderful tour of the mill. So much wool, clothing, and nick nacks available. What a great way to support Australia made and small towns.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the shop here. They have a good selection of craft and clothing items. The staff were patient, helpful and friendly.
We'll pop in again on our next trip to Nundle.

Always a great venue to take visitors to Great step back in time to see how wool was processed and still is.
Vintage and modern plant operating alongside each other from viewing platform.
Excellent products at competitive pricing.

Tour starts at 2pm. Very nice people and explanations about one of the last whool industry in the country. Good to see hundred years machineries working. Very nice gift shop.

What a brilliant find ! Thanks to the information team at Tamworth, we ventured to Nundle to have a look around, and to visit this authentic woollen mill. Nick was our guide on the 2:00pm tour ($5, or free if you buy something in their extensive and wonderful shop). He was superb - engaging, entertaining, educational. Sandra demonstrated each stage of processing by operating several of the machinery on site. I ended up buying six balls of the most gorgeous, rich blue wool that Sandra had just wound into balls, a pair of needles and a Paton’s How To Knit book ! We loved our visit to Nundle and to the woollen mill, and highly recommend the trip. Thanks Nick and Sandra !

I intentionally stopped by during a road trip and was not disappointed! The mill tour was very interesting, and is especially worthwhile for anyone who's interested in fibre arts. The shop also had a wide variety of products.

Good value Australian made stuff interesting tour worth the detour.

Great story to place with wool washed and spun from machines dating back to 1914 still in operation. Retail shop with amazing array of Aussie and NZ wool and related products. Recommended especially the socks Nundle mill make. Tours run at 2pm for $5 each or free if you purchase products from the store.

Very enjoyable visit and you can look down into the workings of the mill including the dye room. Wool and garments at great prices. Friendly staff

I've been to the mill a few times and have ordered online too. I have to say the service in person is wonderful. The service online is even better! I received my second parcel today and it's wonderful to receive a personal, hand written note along with it.
As for the quality of the wool... it really is beautiful. It's soft and easy to work with and the colour range is excellent! Keep up the good work!

Loved visting the mill, especially as there are now so few in australia. The tour was very informative and well worth it. The staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.
