If you are looking to purchase gifts or even some knitting projects for yourself, you might like to consider the benefit of buying from a small business.
The small businesses I support with my Aussie Yarn kits are independent farms. These farms are operated by the owners, it’s the livelihood for their families. They lovingly tend to their flocks of sheep and alpacas and focus on creating the best environment for their livestock.
The farms themselves are operated to maintain the sustainability of the land.
Sadly many are suffering from the drought in Australia and also bushfires pose a very serious concern for some as well. So now, more than ever, they rely on our support.
As well as the farms, the yarns they produce are all processed by local or small independent scouring businesses. They are also producing the yarns using mills and dyers within Australia.
By continuing to support these yarn suppliers you are also supporting the supply chain of independent businesses.
The money earned from these sales is invested in their Australian businesses and used in the local economy.
You can help support these small businesses by purchasing from my Aussie Yarns range.
So it’s a pretty big deal when you buy small.
Alpacas from Mirrormere - near Canberra, the land is badly affected by the drought and now the Alpacas are mostly hand fed.
