To our squishy community,

It is with heavy hearts we wish to inform you all that Little Shop for Yarners has closed its doors and ceased trading. We wish to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for the past 4.5 years of squish-chief , friendship and community. It’s been a wild ride. 💛🧶

Oh and yes they are all on sale on the website. 🥳

Confession time….
There was a problem with the website & the DMC Happy Cotton page has been malfunctioning for who knows how long 😳

I’m happy to say it has been fixed (mostly) and all the colours will be back tomorrow (unless I break it again).

💛🧶

P.S. Happy Cotton is now 10% off 🤓

Say no to sad beige colourways. Say hello to colour with a capital C!

These gigantic 1000 metre Jewelspun Ombré Aran weight balls come in six gloriously rich and punchy colourways. The long colour changes lend themselves to all sorts of colourful projects.

I’m currently have a rectangular crochet shawl by The Guy With The Hook (I’ll post a snippet later)

On sale now.

Big news! Our shopfront has officially closed its doors, but we’re very much still open online 🧶💻

You can keep shopping with us 24/7, and yes — local pick-up is still available (just not from the store).

Same yarny goodness, new way to shop ✨

Say “Hi!” To Big Belly the chinchilla. This little smooshball was crochet using our Yarn and Colors Furry by one of our very talented young folk who visits us every week.
How adorable is it!!! ❤️❤️❤️
No pattern either! 🤯

The shop is open very week on Wednesday evening from 4-8pm.

Everyone is welcome to bring a project and sit at the table for chit chat & shenanigans.

January is the longest month of the year, so to help you get through it, Little Shop for Yarners is having a MASSIVE sale!

You’ll find up to 50% off selected items, available both in-store and online — with new sale items added online every day.

If you’re in the Gympie region, it’s worth popping into the shop. We’ve got plenty of extra-special specials that won’t be listed online (because they’re delightfully random, and websites are complicated enough without tiny odd bits).

Expect beautiful cotton yarns from just $2 a ball, plus other treasures you’ll need to come in to discover. They’ll be waiting for you in boxes — perfect for a good forage.

🧶 Open Wednesday evening, 4–8pm
Shop online anytime, or come say hello in store!

Third time lucky on designing this hooded shawl for you?
😣 Attempt one: hood too small. Rip back.
🤬 Attempt two: hood good, but shawl too long and not wide enough to snuggle up with. Pull apart and start from scratch.
🫣 Attempt three: so far, so good.
Hopefully I'll have a pattern to share with you soon! I'm not a fast knitter and I don't have a lot of spare time at the moment so it's going to take me a while, but I really hope you are going to love it 🧶💛

If you have nothing to wear come to the shop on Wednesday between 4 & 8 pm and pick yourself some ingredients.

Yes we are back and it will be fabulous.
The table is open for snacks, wips and chit chat.

P.S. we have a sneaky sale starting Wednesday also (in store only - then online on from Saturday)
