Tasmanian Wool Centre

Ross sits on the Midland Highway in Tasmania's wool-producing midlands, and this not-for-profit centre—open since 1988—has become the state's largest wool retailer. Every brand stocks Australian or Tasmanian wool; some garments are made locally, others offshore. The onsite museum covers the Ross Bridge, Female Factory, and Horton College through permanent displays and rotating exhibitions. A worthwhile stop, not just a shop.
