Jasmin is the owner of Purl and Friends, a pop-up yarn shop based in a restored vintage Franklin caravan.
With so many local yarn shops having closed their doors, Jasmin dreamed of taking beautiful, ethically sourced, hard-to-get yarns out to the masses. She is passionate about helping people find the perfect yarn for their project and encouraging a slow-fashion and d.i.y. approach to personal style.
Charmaine is the owner of Yarnarama, a (mostly) online yarn store (started in 2014), which specialises in undyed yarns, high quality commercially dyed yarns, 5 brands of knitting needles and many other locally made accessories. Yarnarama can also be found at a few markets and pop up shops throughout the year. I have only been knitting for a 12 years but love the friends and community I have become involved in since I started knitting and my business. Also wife, mum and fur-mum to Zoey the Puggle, Xena the Beaglier and Circles the Murray Darling python.
