List of Australian Online Weaving Stores
On the hunt for some weaving supplies but don’t know where to start? Here’s a list of some fabulous Australia based online weaving stores for my fellow Aussies.
When I first started weaving in early 2021, I spent a lot of time researching different weaving supplies —yarn, fibres, looms, tools, you name it. And it took a bit of digging and time for me to find some Australian weaving stores. So I thought why not share some small biz love and compile a list of some great shops! This list features stores with an online presence (be it via their own site, Etsy, selling on Instagram and more) that are based in Australia. To keep this fair, these are listed in alphabetical order and I will aim to keep this as updated as possible. Please let me know of any stores I should add via the comments or via email at hello@lushlittlejungle.com.
