Thank you to the always lovely @rosemiaphotography for sending this one through! Who else loves seeing a baby in whites and creams? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Also loving how simply set up yet how beautiful this baby shoot is.

Also Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there! Hope everyone was able to celebrate or show some love in some way with their fathers yesterday. We had a big breakfast, plenty of laughs shared and a lot of sleep! 😆

Who else is in need of a bit of inspiration?

I’ve been trying to get into reels lately because that’s the thing to do on here lately but I just keep going back to why I started this account and what I loved about Instagram. It has always been about the inspiration, emotion and ideas a photo has given me. Who else is Team Photo? 😄 not that I mind reels. I really like the ones where they can show you a mum hack or those DIY ones! But I guess I’m old school and have always liked being able to look at all the wonderful details a photograph gives and soak it all in. Also who doesn’t love some good ol’ nursery room decor inspo to mix up their feed every now and then? 😘

Happy hump day!

IM STILL HERE! 🤪

Wow It’s been awhile since I’ve made an appearance or posted anything up on Instagram…

So here’s a quick update. While we’ve been in a continued lockdown phase here in Victoria, I decided to make a real effort to stay off all screens and learn new healthy meals, get out exercising regularly, spring clean & de-cluttering the whole house, get into some gardening and spending good quality time with my 2 kids & of course can’t forget the hubby!

Seriously it’s been THE BEST thing for my mental health! 🙌

To be honest im still trying to figure out how often I want to spend on instagram in this season. It’s been a struggle to get into any sort of routine at the moment. Who else is finding it hard to juggling everything at work and home right now?

Hope you are doing well and learning to find ways of coping throughout all these lockdowns too. If anyone has any tips on how to stay sane during this time feel free to share!

Thinking of you all and I am here for anyone that is struggling or just needs to talk 🧡

👆Tap the post to go straight to the product link

💥Yes I am back from my break off social media! For those who have been wondering where I have been over the last few weeks…
I’ve been going through afew personal things and just needed to give my eyes a rest from all screens and prioritise my health, my children and family till I got on top of things again. Thank you to all those that messaged to check in on me too 💗 All is well now and even though Melbourne has gone into its 5th lockdown I’m feeling surprisingly good! Hope you’ve been well since I left you for a mini break and looking forward to getting addicted again to the gram! 😅

Though our Instagram may have gone on quiet rest assured the orders have not stopped and our knit game is still going strong 💪🧶

To kick start back up again, we have now put up our new colour Fawn which is a beautiful alpaca wool.

Fawn is now available in our Aspen bonnet and Norfolk pom pom bootees online however you can request for our other styles to be made up in this colour also (just DM us).

NEW COLOUR COMING SOON!
(Swipe left to see)

Introducing ...

F A W N

We’ve had a large number of customers ask us for another option that is a bit warmer than our stone colour and so we have been hunting around online (as the wool stores here in Melbourne are still closed) to find something.

We will be trialling this colour over the next few months to see how popular it is.
It is a beautiful alpaca wool and so soft too touch.

We still need to shoot this colour in our other products for the website (that will take some time) but you don’t have to wait for the photos. If you know what you want, you can order right now! Just send me a DM with the size and style knit and we can organise payment through PayPal or Card. They will cost $59.95 for the bonnets and $54.95 for your choice of bootees.

What do you think of this new colour? Comment below or send us a DM.

All feedback is welcome 🧡

Looking for winter baby outfit ideas this June/ July?

Recently, I put a few baby clothes together for a beautiful friend of mine who had just given birth.

As she was having an Australian winter baby I thought what better gift to get her than baby knitwear right?! 😘

Of course I was always planning on giving her some Woolly Mutton goodies but I wanted to add some pieces that would complete the entire outfit.

Here’s what I added...

1) Knitted overalls- Pure Baby
2) Cotton onsie- Pure Baby
3) Cable knit jumper- Country Rd

4) Fern blanket- Woolly Mutton
5) Aspen bonnet + Alaska bootees- Woolly Mutton

My go to newborn baby shop has always been @purebabyorganic where I found the overalls and onsie. I got lucky at @countryroad and picked up the cream cable knit jumper too👌

All of these work so well with our stone knits and fern blanket. Perfect for the cold as well as being easy on the eye 😍

If you were to pick one good value to teach your child what would it be and why?

E.g kindness, loyalty, trustworthy, compassion, cheerfulness, positivity, authenticity... etc etc...

Being a parent is the most important job you will ever do & instilling in our children good values so that they walk these out throughout their adulthood is one of the many things I believe can help make our country/ world a better place.

If you can’t answer the first question than try this one:

What are the values you find hardest to teach your children and why?

No right or wrong answer, just something for us all to think about on a deeper level to end the work week!

Yay! We made it through the first week of lockdown Melbourne 4.0 👏

To end the week, let’s have some fun!
Comment below on how your week has been using only EMOJIs ...

I’ll go first, my week of lockdown with two toddlers from start to finish was...
🙂🤨🥵🤞🥳

Haha now it’s you turn! Using emojis how was your week? 👇

Did you know that many hand knitted patterns cannot be mass produced?

Which is why we love to knit these lost styles back to life using modern colours and bring you products that are timeless, unique and that extra bit special.

I love going to Op shops & digging around for these old vintage knitting patterns. I found this baby book in a Salvations Army store in Balywn and it was actually brought over from England back in the 70s!

Would you like to see more of these styles come back? If you love all those beautiful vintage, lacy baby knits let us know in the comments below 👇💕

If you are a neutrals lover this is the colour for you...introducing...

🙌 P E A R L 🙌 (swipe left)

Our latest girly neutral!

For the mother that hates pinks but still wants her little girl to ...well...look like a little girl! Because we’ve all had those moments when someone has come to coo over your “cute baby boy” 🙄...can’t blame them when all we put our children in these days are neutrals 😅

Seriously though, how beautiful does baby Bonnie from @ourgoldenhourdays look in her Pearl Aspen bonnet & Blessings booties?! ...I mean, she could make a paper bag look good but this colour on her is everything 👏💕

Swipe left to see how our Pearl compares to our Stone, Cream & Blush colours.

You’ll find this beauty on our website 👇www.woollymutton.com

We have a 5 - day knit up time 👍

Ever wanted to know what happens behind the scenes of a Woolly Mutton order?

Before you even hit the “checkout” button on our website here’s what happens...

*THE PROCESS*

1. Wool is chosen & bought in bulk

I like to physically inspect the wool before I select what goes on our website - touch it, feel it, smell it...ok maybe not smell it but you get the level of detail I go into 😆 #notcreepyatall

I am so blessed to live in Melbourne where I have access to some of the best wool boutiques in Australia & the world. In my selection process I like to stay up-to-date with the latest baby trends & choose colours accordingly.

Don’t be shy to let me know what colours would you like to see in the future as I do these shops regularly 👍

2. This wool is then flown up to my mother (Vicky) in Brisbane who then skilfully knits these into our wonderful WM creations. She’s been doing this since before I was born & i don’t think she will ever stop!

3. You then press “checkout” and Vicky gets started on your order. She has a 5-day turn around on all orders. If there are a lot of orders that come through at once then we will notify you that the 5-day wait may need to be extended but this doesn’t happen very often because she’s very fast (go Mum!).

4. Vicky then packages your knits & sends them off to their loving home. We use Australia post & also try to reduce our carbon footprint by sending our products in @hero.packaging compostable post bags.

5. You (our lovely customers!) love them as much as we do & send us a pic of your cute little baby all cuddled up in their Woolly Mutton’s & send us a review 😘 😘

👉 To begin the process with us today please go to www.woollymutton.com

Welcome to Woolly Mutton family 😃🧡

P.s special mention to @ourgoldenhourdays for the stunning baby photos we got to use in this reel. Thank you! 👏💕

If you could snap your fingers and have our shop magically create a product of your design, what would it be? In other words have you ever thought “hmm it would be awesome if Woolly Mutton created a product for _______? “

If you’ve got an idea for a future product (it can be fun, reasonable, wacky - anything), here’s how to share your idea with us:

Cold whites vs Warm whites
...no I’m not talking about people 🙄😅

...I’m talking about the material world cos I’m a material girl 😜
#madonnapunintended
#songstuckinmyhead

When my first child came into the world I was obsessed with taking photos of her at any opportunity I could get. Yes, first parent syndrome hit me hard! 😆

I had bought some beautiful (not to mention expensive!) white swaddles that she lived in for the first 10 weeks. The problem was that these swaddles would picked up all the blue tones in the natural light...even if I had them in direct sunlight! It meant I had to painfully adjust each photo I took just to make my baby look like she was alive as the cold whites were dulling the warmth of her skin. 🙈

So now, every time I source white materials for Woolly Mutton - whether it be our heirloom quilts, cotton swaddles or white wool - I always make sure they are warm but still crisp proper whites (not cream).

Has anyone else had this problem? I’m sure I’m not the only one!

Share this with a friend who loves their whites looking WHITE 🙌

Who loves a newborn wrapped in a knitted blanket?

Whenever I see a baby being photographed in amongst a neutral setup I notice how much more eye capturing a photo is when the materials included have soft texture, fine detailing or both.

Our knitted fern blankets (featured here) add that extra detailing that helps make any newborn shoot go from 🙂 good to 🙌 great!

BONUS: being pure cotton they are easy to wash and dry quickly. So you can use them over & over again without any hassle.

If I’m talking your kind of language hit the pic & follow the link to get one of these beauties for your next baby shoot 🤱

Go to www.woollymutton.com to see our full range of knits 🧡

Meet the team...

It’s been a while since we introduced ourselves so we thought we’d give you the “reel deal” 😘

Hi I’m Lesina 🤚and I do all the social media while my Mum (Vicky) is the talent behind the knits.

Here’s a few fun facts about us:

1) I don’t know how to knit 😆...well mum taught me as a child but it wasn’t something I continued & I eventually lost the knack. I vow one day to pick it up again though!

2) We are kiwis originally, though I’ve lived in Australia longer than NZ now.

3) Before she got married my Mums maiden name was Mutton & thus the name Woolly Mutton was born!

4) I live in Melbourne & my Mum lives in Queensland. It’s been a tough last year with state borders regularly closing but happy to have seen her last week 😊

5) ...we both have a sweet tooth...or is that just everyone? 🤭

We would love to hear something about yourself. Stop in and say hi!

Team White or Team Cream?
Which one are you?

We’ve recently ordered more of our Snow White wool however the new batch that has come through is definitely more of a cream (see pic above for difference).

If you are ‘Team Cream’ and would like one of our bonnets or booties in this beautiful colour here’s what you do:

1) Go to www.woollymutton.com
2) Select the bonnet or booties type you want, making sure you pick it in the ‘Snow’ colour.
3) Go to the checkout & put the code “Cream Dreams” in the coupon box - this will automatically give you 10% off ($59.95 now $54.95) & also notify us that you want it in the cream colour.
4) If you like, you can also use the comments box to write that you would prefer the cream.
5) After checkout is completed we will send you a confirmation email.

Any further questions feel free to DM us. It’s as easy as that!

* Save this post for the future or forward this post along to anyone you know that adores their cream/ Ivory knits 🧡

* RE-POST *

I put up this clever video from @breastfeeding.dietitian on our stories last week as it received a lot of good feed back from our viewers. I thought I’d re-post it up in my feed for those that may have missed it but would find it useful.

For the full explanation and further good latching tips please visit @breastfeeding.dietitian

P.s love the crochet work 😘

I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you an early Happy Mothers Day! Hope you are spoilt and feeling loved by your family.

😃❤️

SHARE TIME (Swipe left)

Afew days ago we received a beautiful email from Kaitlyn @the_rehab_mama and wanted to share it with you all. I can’t express how lovely it feels when someone reaches out to us and shares their love for our products. It is one of the things that keep us motivated to continue doing what we do. In a world where people are quick to criticise and kind words aren’t heard too often it’s emails like these ones that honestly fill our day with sunshine ☀️

Thanks for sharing your beautiful pics with us all Kaitlyn @the_rehab_mama , he’s such a cutie! Also a shoutout to @torietheridgephotography who took these stunning shots 🤗🧡

Hoping you are enjoying the sunshine (yes! keep bringing it Melbourne!) today wherever you are and may your weekend be filled with love & laughter xx
