Sunday afternoon in Aust
Hello everyone - it is now Sunday afternoon here on a lovely summers day but
expecting a storm this afternoon. Had our morning coffee with our disabled friend as usual and now about to get lunch. If you ever wonder why the very best world class wool is expensive ie Spinelli type garments- then here is the answer - one bale of the highest quality sold yesterday to a Chinese firm for $750,000.00 ( Aust dollars that is ) which is about $570,000.00 US dollars or 292,500 English pounds. This was produced in our own state of Queensland - usually the really top class wool comes form Tasmania. God Bless Gwen -- Gwen Kelly |

Hi Everyone,
Well, it's not sunny here in upstate NY. I came on the computer about 15 minutes ago and there was a light rain. I looked out about five minutes ago and it's snowing and everything is white and it's really coming down, going to have about two to three inches before morning and be bitter cold tomorrow. Looks like a lot of crocheting will be done. Hugs, Nora |

Gwen,
Whenever I see your subject line "Sunday afternoon in Aust," I read it as "Sunday afternoon in August." With the snow and cold temperatures that we are having, I wish it were August.

Yes,Dora, these are the same and with wool as fine as 11.9 microns it is the finest ever produced and as the article says usually used in cashmere sweaters etc and no doubt will be processed to be fully machine washable as most- if not all- of our wool is these days.
