Best yarn shops in Melbourne (and beyond)

Crocheting
Melbourne is brimming full of creativity (and excellent coffee) and it’s my favourite Australian city! I love jumping on the tram and discovering different parts of the city. My top tip is to make sure you’ve got your Melbourne Snood with you – they’re not joking when they say there are 4 season in a day.
If you’re planning a trip to Melbourne then you must visit these yarn shops:
Morris and Sons is centrally located in the CBD on level 1, 234 Collins Street, Melbourne. In addition to the inspiring yarns, there’s a range of craft supplies.
Why not book into a workshop or class while you’re there, and visit the massive Dymocks book shop downstairs.

Hop on a number 6 tram and visit Maker Maker at Shop 2, 162 Lygon St, Brunswick East. The light filled space is full of colourful yarns, patterns and accessories.

Get ready for your trip to Melbourne by crocheting a chunky scarf with 100% Australian grown and made merino wool. The Melbourne Snood is one of the included patterns!
There are some fabulous yarny places to visit just outside Melbourne too:
Great Ocean Road Woollen Mill (just outside of Ballarat) is open on Fridays. Isabel and Nick are passionate about natural fibres, eco-friendly practices and making Australian yarns.
While you’re in Ballarat, I highly recommend soaking up the old-school-book-shop vibes at Collins Bookshop on Lydiard and visiting the nearby Cobbs Coffee.

If you’re thinking of heading south to the Mornington Peninsula, then put Little Woollie Makes Yarn Store on your must-visit list.

Tarndwarncoort is a wool shop on a historic sheep farm, with accommodation too.

Bendigo Woollen Mills have an affordable range of yarns that are partially made in Australia.

It’s not a yarn store, but the National Wool Museum in Geelong is worth visiting. Soak up all the vibes of the historic wool store, and learn about the history of wool (and yarn) in Australia.

Hi! I’m Lynda (she/her) and I’m the lady behind Homelea Lass.
I’m here to help you improve your crochet skills and to help you find peace and happiness in your creative time.
In 2012 I was knocked down by debilitating chronic fatigue that put an end to my blossoming career as a Civil Engineer and Project Manager.
Early on in my illness, I discovered that I could crochet without draining my energy, so I spent my days crocheting, researching yarns and designing – this is how Homelea Lass was born.
My experience with chronic illness has guided me to combine my passion for exceptional design and crochet. I’ve developed a way of crocheting that’s enjoyable, easy to understand, and maximises it’s relaxing and wellbeing properties.
As my healing journey has progressed, Homelea Lass has grown, and I feel blessed that I can share my love of Australian merino wool, chunky crochet and creativity with you.
