Spin a Yarn – a yarn store with a little more – Two long time like minded friends who during the pandemic became annoyed with ordering yarn and accessories online. Their vision is to provide quality yarn that feels nice, looks nice and is available in store. The inclusion of a cafe for crafters or others to come together over a cuppa, cake, lunch or afternoon tea brings the community together with a space to share ideas, meet new people and make new friends.

Tantech – With a background in the tanning industry, Tantech Pty Ltd was established in 1997 to develop & market a specialty detergent for washing medical sheepskins to the new Australian Standard developed by the CSIRO. Because their sheepskin detergent washed the wool as well as the fibre, Tantech identified a market for their detergent for all natural fibres such as alpaca, mohair & cashmere as well as cotton. This started the development of their fibre craft range – Delicates Wash, Felting Finish & Wool Wash and Fibre Scour.
