A small yarn shop for slow projects and long winters.
Yarn & Bramble is a hand-dyed yarn and craft shop on Percival Road. Australian merino, hand-dyed by us in small batches. Hand-knitting needles, embroidery hoops, sewing patterns, and small Saturday-morning workshops in the back room.
Eight hand-dyed colourways this season.
Wisteria DK
Eucalypt sport
Coral aran
Harbour 4-ply
Wheat worsted
Rose lace
Twilight DK
Saturday workshops, every fortnight.
Three-hour workshops in the back room, capped at six students. Beginner-welcome. Yarn, needles, tea and a small cake provided. Most workshops finish the project on the day.
Learn to knit in three hours
Cast on, knit stitch, purl stitch, cast off. You will leave with a small dishcloth and a working brain for the next project.
The everyday-beanie
For knitters who can already cast on. The shop's house pattern, knit in the round on circular needles. You will leave with a beanie.
Embroidery for absolute beginners
Six basic stitches in three hours. Hoop and thread provided. Bring your own scissors if you have a favourite pair.
Mend & visible repair
Bring a beloved piece. We learn sashiko-style mending and learn to love the patch as much as the cloth.
Three textures, up close.
The Harbour shade
Hand-dyed in three baths over two days. The blue takes longest — the third bath is what makes the depth.
Wisteria blend
75% merino, 25% silk. The silk gives the lustre; the merino keeps it warm. Knits up softer than the swatch suggests.
The mending cloth
Belgian linen for sashiko-style visible repair. Sold by the metre, with our recommended hand-sewing needles.
Three patterns from the back-room shelf.
The Bramble cardigan
A relaxed-fit drop-shoulder cardigan in DK weight. The shop's most-knitted pattern. Sizes 1 through 7. Eight hand-dyed shades.
Wildflowers of the back garden
Five small embroidery patterns in soft watercolour pencils. Suitable for beginners. Includes the back-garden study guide.
The Harbour socks
Toe-up socks in 4-ply, with a heel-flap and gusset. Sizes adult-S through adult-XL. Two yarn options on the shade wall.
The shop, at the end of Percival Road.
Walk-ins welcome. The back room is reserved for workshops most Saturdays — quietly close the door behind you and join the bench in the front room. Tea is always on.
