News from the Dye Pots

Earlier this month we attended the Australian Yarn Show, where we were honoured to receive the 2025 'Yarn Dyer of the Year' and 'Industry Leader of the Year' awards. 

During February we’ll be celebrating one of our national knitting treasures as part of our #loveloKAL #loveloCAL make-along, with our bonus theme for the month being ‘Celebrating Ambah O’Brien’.

We are honoured to have been selected as one of three finalists for the Australian Yarn Awards 2025 - Yarn Dyer of the Year, together with Obsession Yarns and Great Southern Yarn.

We are thrilled to once again bring you #loveloKAL & #loveloCAL, a year-long make-along where we will be celebrating our down-under designers, yarn producers, dyers and local yarn shops.

#loveloKAL & #loveloCAL is being hosted by Gayann Walker of the Fibremates Youtube Channel and Karina Moore of Louie & Lola Yarns.

So many of our fabulous Knit for the Girls sponsors have their own special events happening this week in support of the Uni fundraiser, that we thought they deserved a blog post all of it's own.

Here's just a snippet of the pink boobie yarnie fun to be found between 5-12 October.

We are thrilled to have collaborated with talented knitwear designer Susanna Kaartinen of Sanna & Co. on her new Alma Cardigan design.

Knit in our Merino Possum DK yarn, this colourwork cardigan features a scandinavian style colourwork pattern along the hem and sleeves.

We're excited to be headed to Canada very soon for our first ever in-person event, Knit City Toronto, being held from 17-19 in the Westin Harbour Castle in downtown Toronto.

We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Gayann Walker of Australian knitting podcast Purlfect Pairings, when she visited Tasmania over the Easter long weekend.

Gayann and I chat all things yarn - from our favourite yarn bases and knitting patterns, to how Louie & Lola came to be as well, as some of our recent collaborations and the joys of becoming a spinner.
