Morris and Sons

Meet our amazing contestants for both July Part Two and August!

We’ve selected a diverse range of projects this month, from cosy socks and stylish vests to intricate shawls and thoughtful baby gifts. Each piece, whether knitted or crocheted, showcases the versatility and beauty of Morris Yarns alongside other beloved brands we stock. We picked these projects because we love seeing the creativity and care that goes into handmade items for yourself or your loved ones.

Each will receive a $100 store credit voucher for their next project! With double the contestants, we’ll have two winners — one for July and one for August!

Voting closes Thursday 12th September midday and the winners will be announced on Sunday 15th September.

What’s the story behind how you started knitting or crochet? Share with us in the comments!

Our team member Jen was inspired to learn crochet when her 5-year-old niece, Emilia, asked for a handmade scarf. Emilia knows where Jen works and playfully assigned her the "homework" of creating it. Now, Jen's feeling both the pressure and the excitement of mastering this new skill!

Today we’re excited to celebrate the incredible men and crafters in our community!

In our Sunday email, Kat shares a special note about Vanyo - a Katoomba local. He has been creating one-of-a-kind crocheted hats for years. From his first hat made for Bob Marley to the unique designs he crafts today, Vanyo’s creations are as special as the people who wear them.

Next time you're in the mountains, keep an eye out—you might just spot one of Vanyo’s creations being worn!

Wishing a fantastic Father’s Day to all the amazing dads out there from Morris and Sons 🧶💙

We love Rainbow Beanie made (with love) and using our Morris Empire 10ply Yarn in 'Bloom'.

Gracie made this gorgeous hat for her daughter.

"At kindygym a few weeks ago one of the girl's friends was wearing a rainbow beanie with pompoms and A immediately decided she needed one 😂 But she didn't just want one she kept saying "mummy you need to make me a rainbow beanie with pompoms like F" 🩷 It gives me all the warm fuzzies that they want me to make them things and they (usually) love them".

I might have to make another of these because I finished it this arvo and they're already fighting over it!"
