The Australian Wool Store Artisan yarns - unique hand dyed yarns and fibres Welcome to The Australian Wool Store. Gorgeous, hand dyed artisan yarn in a variety of plies and bases.

Postage is a flat rate of $10 with a tracking number for anywhere in Australia using Australia Post. I recommend hand washing your yarns and fibres in cold water and drying flat in the shade. I take a lot of care to represent the true colours of the yarns and fibres in my photos. I cannot be held responsible for inaccurate colour representations on your devices.

Create a beautiful and practical embroidered project bag in this relaxing mixed-media workshop at KAN 2026. Begin with a calico bag featuring a hand-drawn watering can or flower pot design, then bring it to life with fabric paint and colourful floral details.

Once your painted design is dried, you’ll add decorative embroidery to create texture and personality. Choose from a selection of simple floral patterns, making this project suitable for beginners and experienced crafters alike.

All materials and equipment are supplied, and the design has been carefully created to be enjoyable, achievable, and completed within the three-hour class. Materials Fee likely to apply. No previous art skills required.

Let’s Dye Yarn In this fun class you will learn how to dye a single skein of yarn to create an identical pair of socks. If socks aren’t your thing then you can use your yarn for a hat or scarf or shawl.

Kathryn will show you how to create a yarn with lots of skinny stripes or crazy spots or a gorgeous gradient. The class includes one skein of 4 ply, 400m 75% Merino/25% Nylon or 100% Merino. If you have been dying (pun intended) to try dyeing yarn, this is the perfect class for you! You will be able to purchase more yarn on the day.

Preparations for our 2026 advent calendar has begun!!
We’re doing things a little differently this year and I’ll be posting all the details soon.
My research involves photos of my recent travels to Europe and I thought I’d share this video I took - watch it until the end otherwise it won’t make sense 😁
