24.01.2022 Out & About III We will be at the Old Bus Depot Markets on Sunday 9th July. Brave the cold and come along to see us and all our amazing products. This is a "Creative Fibre" market day so there will also be lots of other textile stall holders there.

24.01.2022 FREE. Indigo seedlings. Persicaria tinctoria. All the seeds that didn't get harvested, but just dropped to the ground - in the pot, in the driveway, everywhere.... and have now sprouted ! Have way too many, so happy to share. I am in Charlestown (Newcastle area). Bring your own pot with soil and you can do a contactless, socially distanced pick up. Message me and we will organise a time. Thank you !

23.01.2022 Switching to NBN... We think we have internet now at the factory, but no phone... and they say it could take 1 - 3 days to fix... possibly.

Please be patient !

Thank you for your patience.

04.01.2022 We will be trading at the Sutherland Shire Spinners & Weavers Winter Wool Fair. Come along and say hello and spend some money !

04.01.2022 One of these is not like the others. The one on the left is dye in solution (just fibre reactive dye and water). The one on the right is our Hot Colour fabric paint. And the one in the middle is advertised and sold by a tie dye company (from the far north coast of NSW) as a dye. Simply paint it on and set in the sun they say. And iron it for best results. Interesting !

03.01.2022 We are open for business ! We can still answer the phone, read and reply to emails, and get your orders out whilst the world is in COVID-19 shutdown and self isolation. Our workshops are on hold for the moment, but we are looking into creating online versions asap. All our kits already come with clear instructions and I am always happy to answer questions and provide assistance. Take care and keep yourself occupied with creative activities ! Lynne & Co

01.01.2022 Just a reminder that our last day of trading for 2018 will be Friday 21st December. We re-open Tuesday 29th January (after the Australia Day long weekend).
