Louie & Lola Yarns offers small batch, hand dyed yarns inspired by our love of colour, natural fibres and the natural beauty of Tasmania and our miniature dachshunds, Louie and Lola.
We love offering special releases of non-superwash, Australian & New Zealand specialty yarn bases when available. Make sure you sign up to our newsletter to receive advance notice of our shop updates.
We also offer a beautifully curated collection of quality tools, accessories and gifts for knitters and crocheters, including Thread & Maple, Chiaogoo, Katrinkles and Clover products.
As well as our online store, we have a small dye studio shop which is open by appointment.
We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Gayann Walker of Australian knitting podcast Purlfect Pairings, when she visited Tasmania over the Easter long weekend.
Gayann and I chat all things yarn - from our favourite yarn bases and knitting patterns, to how Louie & Lola came to be as well, as some of our recent collaborations and the joys of becoming a spinner.
On behalf of team 'Knit for the Girls 2023', Olga & Sam of Thread & Maple, Tracie & Jodi of Grocery Girls and ourselves, THANK YOU!!
Together we raised over $30.7K AUD for the National Breast Cancer Foundation Australia and also $43K CAD for Breast Cancer Canada, a massive combined total of over $79K AUD or $70K CAD for breast cancer research.
