LoomTex Australian knitting yarns at 🧶

Developed within the UNSW Textiles 2 studio course, these works explore experimental knit design through fine Australian merino wool yarns supplied by LoomTex.

Using innovative knitting techniques with a material-led approach, students investigate structure, texture, openness, & form while developing a deeper understanding the craftsmanship involved in textile construction.

The project reflects the importance of supporting local manufacturing & Australian wool, celebrating the quality & sustainability of locally sourced fibres, fostering meaningful connections between emerging designers & the Australian textile industry.

Beauty in the dyeing process.

We dye all types of fibres, yarns & fabrics right here in Geelong.

We're committed to using high quality, low impact dyestuffs with a focus on strict performance & sustainability standards.

The sky is the limit for locally dyed yarns with the ability to customise to any colour for our customers.

Being a local manufacturer means we can offer lower minimum order quantities & quick lead times, minimising transport costs.
