Book today, come tomorrow, and bring something you're happy pottering away at on your own. Or the project that's been in the bottom of the bag since autumn, quietly judging you.

Purely social, this one. A table, good company, and a few hours set aside for making things.

Topics of conversation may include: what you're reading, whether you're brave enough for a Mystery KAL this year, the weather (spring is having opinions), why you own quite this much yarn, and — if the tea is strong enough — plans for world domination.

📚 CHAPTER & SKEIN Book Club is back!

Read the book. Knit (or crochet) with yarn inspired by the story. Then come and talk about it over coffee, tea and dessert.

This round we’re reading The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley — and Hannah at Circus Tonic Handmade has dyed exclusive colourways drawn straight from the cover.

New York Times bestseller. Hugo finalist. One of Obama’s summer picks. Also very funny about a Victorian man discovering Spotify.

🏴‍☠️🎨 New Pirate Doodle Deck just landed. Seems appropriate for a yarn store in Port Adelaide… we know nothing about any secret smuggling tunnels supposedly under our store. Nothing at all.

Also in: Science, Music, Tech, plus Storybook and Detective foil packs.

Mix and match colourwork motifs, design your own project. Arrr.

Yarn Trader is a finalist in the 2026 SA Premier’s Business Awards as Business of the Year.

We are so delighted to even be in the room with the best of South Australian businesses. Honestly we are just a bunch of passionate crafters selling yarn from the Port!

The Yarn Trader team will be getting out the glad rags on Oct 16th (though someone is crocheting their gown, respect!) and heading off to celebrate at the Gala no matter what.

None of this happens without the Yarn Trader team, our trusted suppliers, our amazing customers, and everyone who’s supported what we’re building. This one’s for you.
