                                Meet Aunt Jenny, New Zealand knew her as a writer for the NZ Dairy Board in the early 1900’s where she wrote a weekly jotting called Greener Pastures, she wrote about life on the farm and found meaning in the everyday around her. She took time to listen to her environment and was able to match her observations with words that spread across New Zealand and...

                                OUR ASHFORD STORY

                                Everyone has a Grandfather, mine was the handyman type, big hands, bright blue eyes that sparkled and a permanent smile. Visiting in the school holidays was always a treat. I was allowed to watch Grandpa tinker in his back shed, the saw dust smelt so delicious. Grandpa would make me these beautiful wooden eggs from special pieces of timber he collected all over New Zealand.

                                My Grandfather was Walter Ashford and when he wasn't making wooden eggs for me he was busy making wooden Ashford products for you. Walter Ashford started back in 1934 making kit set Ashford Toys & Wheels for sale in the Home Journal, I guess with his Ashford Wheels still turning 80 years on, he must have got the design right!...

                                READ OUR STORY

                                I've shopped from Ashford for the past 30 years and their products have given rise to many of my projects. I've always valued their family tradition and their personalised customised service. I've bought all my spinning wheels, drum carder and weaving loom through Ashford Australia which has allowed me to craft several clothes for projects in East Timor and to several of my family's owned sponsored children with World Vision. Growing up in the Wool Industry with my own family makes me truly appreciate the meaning behind Ashford Australia's own story, a story of a love of craft and sharing that with other people, passed down generations. Kind Regards, 

                                Celine O’Callaghan

                                I am constantly checking the Ashford Australia site for new products. The other people in my spinning group frequently ask me where I get my looms or tops from and of course I send them to the Ashford Australia site. It is so nice to know I can get everything I need for my craft with a few clicks. My orders have always arrived quickly and I know I can pick up the phone and seek advice without having to worry too much about time differences or money conversions. Kind Regards

                                I love Ashford products, have four Ashford wheels and have been spinning on them for probably forty years. Love your range of fibres. I live in tropical North Queensland but still spin and weave even in summer. Your service and products are 10 out of 10.

                                Greener Pastures Rewa Story The Greater Love

                                Where had her smile gone? The ending of the Greater Love haunted me, my curiosity for Jennifer grew with every word I read and soon I had to follow her footsteps. Packing my warmest woolens I made my way to New Zealand, travelled south, crossed the mighty Clutha river on a punt and arrived at Inch. I had no idea what I was about to discover...

                                I grew up with a monkey on my back. A true story his name was "Pepe". I would cut a hole in his nappies for his tail to slide through and he would ride on my back as I scooted my tricycle around the furniture in our high rise apartment in Hong Kong. It all sounds so far from wool and textiles, it was...

                                The New Zealand Government has locked the country down to manage the COVID19 virus which means all goods being shipped directly from the Ashford Factory are waiting patiently to make their way to you.

                                The factory hopes to be reopening on Monday the 30th of August.
