Blackwattle Yarn and Fibre -warmth, comfort and luxury. Specialising in hand dyed alpaca yarn and fibre. Run from our alpaca farm in Murrumbateman, NSW, we focus of growing, processing and hand dying premium and luxury alpaca yarn. Running a herd of 80 alpacas, we use all the fibre grown on our farm in our products plus more fibre and yarn bases sourced from local and international locations. All our yarn is hand dyed in our farm shed that has been converted to our dye studio. Fall in love with alpaca today!
At Yarn Trader we are passionate about bringing you the best in locally made yarns and accessories as well as carefully curated natural fibre yarns from around the world.
We run a range of classes and workshops from those looking to start their yarn crafting journey through to confident crafters looking to add new techniques.
The whole of Yarn Trader HQ is a space where crafters are encouraged to come and make at all times. We also have a dedicated space designed to comfortably host classes, workshops, exhibitions and events.
At Yarn Trader we believe that your local yarn store should be a leader in stopping discrimination and promoting inclusion within the craft community. We are often the main point of connection for crafters, we host groups and run classes, we reach many of you with our social media accounts and newsletters, and we have economic power in deciding what to , who to promote and who to work with. These are our commitments to you.
