Sutherland Shire Spinners & Weavers, Inc. We are a friendly and creative group of spinners, loom and tapestry weavers, felters, dyers, crocheters and knitters who meet weekly.

Sutherland Shire Spinners & Weavers brings together people who wish to practise the art of hand spinning and weaving, and to arrange exhibitions. We are a friendly and creative group of spinners, loom and tapestry weavers, felters, dyers, crocheters and knitters. We share skills, ideas and information within our happy group, and provide the wider community with charitable creations and tempting purchases of our hand made craft/artwork. Many of our members have exhibited their works in galleries throughout Australia and overseas. We also have members who produce alpaca and wool fleece. Our work features an amazing variety of fibre craft/artworks, including woollen, silk, cotton, alpaca, soya, bamboo, cashmere and mohair creations, to name a few! Our varied and informative workshops provide us with the expertise of skilled facilitators and educators. Some of us spin from our own home-grown fleece to create wonderful garments and projects. Others share their love of knitting, crocheting, dyeing and weaving. SSS&W is one of the oldest established associations in the Sutherland Shire. Our first formal meeting was in 1971. We are a diverse and friendly group of creative people from many walks of life. We have one thing in common – the love of fibre ! Artists, teachers & craftspeople are happy to mentor and help newcomers. Workshops and excursions are plentiful during the year. Calendar events include a yearly wool fair, challenges, stalls and charity input. We welcome newcomers and enjoy mentoring and helping those who seek to learn new fibre skills.

So good to see Australia has been given back these records of our Merino Sheep:

More than 1,000 kilograms of wool samples, lab notes and technical drawings spent decades gathering dust in a British home. A Victorian sheep farmer just brought them back.

All wrapped up for another year, the Sutherland Shire Spinners & Weavers ‘Winter Wool Fair’ was a great success. We had mixed weather on Friday but enjoyed beautiful weather today which helped create a relaxed event.

The Winter Wool Fair attracted a steady flow of folk, both first timers and return patrons alike, checking out the wonderful ‘Out of the Blue’ exhibition and browsing the various stalls for hand crafted items, yarn and fibre related equipment.

A huge thank you to our organisers, group members and helpers for all their efforts in the lead up to a very busy two day event.

Our next Winter Wool Fair will be held on Friday 4 June and Saturday 5 June 2027, we would love to see you all again next year so make a note in your diaries.

🧶 Aussie Crafting Corner
Aussie Crafting Corner is a small home based business in southern Sydney. I love hand dyeing, spinning, weaving, knitting and crocheting, so a number of years ago I started my business after semi-retiring from my work in accounting. My focus is on selling hand dyed fibre and yarn along with a small amount of crafting tools and handmade clothing items. I like to experiment with different types of dyeing methods and colours so I do not dye in large repeatable quantities, preferring my hand dyeing to be unique and special, not mass produced. While I have a small basic website for online sales, items are also available in store at the Southern Fibre Artists Gallery at Miranda

🧶 Ridgetop Fibre Studio
I have been a lifelong fibreholic, whether it's sewing, knitting, crochet, felting, ecoprinting and now dyeing. Colour is my passion and hand dyeing yarns has allowed me to exercise my creative muscle to create a wide range of colourways on a wide range of yarn bases - 75 repeatable colourways so far and counting. I am sure there will be more, limited only by my time and imagination. This year I will be showcasing my kid mohair yarn. There will be lots of opportunities for people to mix and match yarn with mohair to create that extra fluffy luxury fabric.

Happy Making!
