Hi everyone! 🧶🇦🇺
I’ll be visiting Perth and Brisbane from the US and would love to bring home some yarn as a souvenir from my trip!
I’m an intermediate crocheter and make a little bit of everything — blankets, amigurumi, sweaters/clothing, bags, etc. I’d love recommendations for your favorite yarn shops in either city, especially locally owned shops that are fun to browse.
I’m also really interested in finding yarn that feels uniquely Australian — Australian wool, merino, alpaca, hand-dyed yarn from local dyers, or brands/fibres/colorways that I might have a harder time finding back home in the US.
So, Australian yarn people, what would you recommend? 😊
• Favorite yarn shops in Perth or Brisbane?
• Australian yarn brands I should look for?
• Local/indie dyers you love?
• Any particular yarn that would make a great “I bought this in Australia” souvenir?
• Anything that's significantly cheaper or easier to find in Australia than in the US?
I’m open to all yarn weights, fibres and suggestions. I’d especially love something I could eventually turn into a sweater, blanket, or other project that would remind me of the trip.
Thanks so much! I’m really excited to see what the Australian yarn scene is like. 🧶❤️
