Tocal Agricultural College at Paterson in New South Wales hosted the Newcastle Knitwits team, the final team in the world to compete, their time being 6 hours 11 minutes 38 seconds, gaining second place.

In contrast, the Shear Delights team competing at Bloomfield in New Brunswick, Canada finished in 11 hours, 58 minutes & 31 seconds, bettering their last years time by an hour and a half.

Eight teams of blade shearers, handspinners and knitters entered at their different venues around five world countries in the  twenty first  Challenge, completed on or before Sunday 7th June 2015.

Each team consisted of a blade shearer, a country of origin sheep and seven
handspinners (with spinning wheels) and knitters who follow the identical
Challenge rules and pattern to knit the adult size jumper.

Each team not only promoted wool world wide but raised substantial
funds for Cancer Research.
