I enjoyed knitting the first pair so much that I immediately started on a second pair.

Welcome to Australia – biggest Merino in the world

I thought Merino sheep were big, but this one takes the cake at 15.2 meters high and 97 tonnes. The Big Merino in Goulburn, NSW is worth a stop. Built in 1985, he was modeled after a local stud Ram named Rambo. He was relocated in 2007 due to a bypass change and now houses a permanent exhibit on the history of wool in Australia. He was under renovation, so unfortunately we weren’t able to go up to the top level and peer out of the eyes.
