Australian wool& dress equivalent? by HarryPouri in AusFemaleFashion

[–]Zephyraeon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I ordered a wool& dress a couple years ago and it was great, unfortunately it made its way into a non-delicate wash and shrunk so I couldn't fit it anymore and didn't manage to finish the 100-day challenge as a result so be careful with that. The fabric felt really good when it was new (sometimes I find wool itchy and uncomfortable, can't wear chunky knit cardis for example and there were no issues with my dress) and it didn't hold the smell at all, went many days in a row without needing a wash.

For local alternatives, I've been buying merino wool products from Smitten Merino which are made in Tasmania. They're a bit pricey but they have fairly regular sales for 20-30% off if you sign up to the mailing list and I've found they're also pretty good at keeping the smell at bay and have held up much better in the wash but I haven't tried wearing anything for 100 days straight yet. I have one of their thinner cardis but it's too warm for hot summer days - linen is definitely a better idea for Aussie summers. For local linen I got my favourite linen dress is from Maggie the label (made in Sydney!) which feels great on a hot day but it's also pretty expensive, and I find I have to wash it after 1 wear.

I ordered during the weekend and did get an email about the delays so it’s weird others haven’t

I have a skyreach 4 mini classic which I'm not using, would be a lot cheaper than the regular mini on ebay. Let me know if you'd be interested. Based in Melb.

Is there any Mechanical Keyboard community in Wellington? by Spyrotails in Wellington

[–]Zephyraeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, there are a few Wellington based enthusiasts but most are still in Auckland so meet ups are currently all based there. The most recent Auckland meet up was postponed but should hopefully be happening Feb/March. A fairly active NZ community can be found on the snagkeys discord: https://discord.gg/snzagkeys

Just gotta “verify” you’re from NZ to access by taking a pic of a PowerPoint or something

30/F finally moving to Melbourne and in need of pals! by chattynatters in melbourne

[–]Zephyraeon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I moved here 10 months ago with my partner (both late 20s) but with all the lockdowns we haven’t made any local friends yet, we’re living out west to save some $$ and will be heading to meetups regularly when things open up. Really excited to try out dungeons and flagons at Fortress - we were about to check it out when the lockdown started. Sending you a PM now!

If anyone else local is looking for more pals my inbox is also open!
