Three different types of wool articles and/or garments
Conditions:
For the purpose of this competition the following definitions apply:
- Garment: an article that can be worn e.g. a dress, jacket, scarf, hat, etc
- Article: a utility item that is not worn but can be used in the home e.g. blanket; within an outfit e.g. bag; for amusement e.g. toy; as a decoration e.g. picture; etc
- Three Different Types: the 3 items in an entry must differ from each other in items of their construction technique and/or purpose e.g. 1 a knitted jumper, blanket and tea cosy OR e.g. 2 a knitted tea cosy, a crocheted tea cosy or a felted tea cosy OR e.g. 3 a knitted jumper, a knitted blanket and a crocheted blanket.
The whole article and/or garment must be constructed of, and contain a minimum of 80% SHEEP wool.
Exhibits (articles/garments) may be knitted, crocheted, sewn, felted etc and must be hand crafted (use of machine is permitted).
A sample of the yarn, fabric or fibre with label must be attached to each item making up the exhibit. If a label is not available such as in the case of a hand spun or felted item, a handwritten label with relevant details and sample will suffice.
An exhibit in this competition may consist of the work of one individual or a group of individuals, or an organisation.
All three articles/garments must have been completed within the 12 months prior to the local show and made by the exhibitor/s.
An exhibit having won at a local show may be exhibited (the same three articles/garments) at the Group Final. The winning exhibit at the Group Final is then eligible to compete in the State Final.
An exhibit is only eligible to represent one Society at Group level and one Group at State level.
An exhibit (article/garment) that has previously competed at Group level is not eligible to compete again.
If this class attracts no entries at the local show, the Chief Pavilion Steward in consultation with the appropriate Pavilion Section Judges, may select three suitable individual exhibits and, with the exhibitor’s permission, enter them in the Group judging as an exhibit representing the particular Society concerned.
It is the responsibility of the Group Secretary and winner to co-ordinate the transfer of the winning entry to the AgShows NSW Office in Sydney for the State judging.
State Final garments are to include a photo of the garment being worn (where possible and applicable)
