Great Southern Yarn

Great Southern Yarn is the realisation of a dream that Jennifer Smart, and her husband, Andrew Wilshire shared; to create a luxury yarn range that is ethically produced, sustainable and 100% Australian.

Producing a quality yarn was not enough, we wanted to know where the fleece came from and how well the animals were treated.
