Help support your local yarn supplier (and farmers, too) and take part in Fibreshed Melbourne’s Knitalong this winter.

Help support your local yarn supplier (and farmers, too) and take part in Fibreshed Melbourne’s Knitalong this winter. The idea is simple: everyone knits the same two patterns over the months of July and August using yarn that’s farmed, processed and botanically coloured in their own area. Pop over to the Fibreshed Melbourne website to find out more about joining in, download the patterns, and check out their list of completely local yarn suppliers (which is especially handy, since Australian yarn stores always seem to be selling truckloads of international yarn, despite the fact that we produce loads of lovely wool right here on our shores). Happy knitting, folks.
