About us

A little bit about us...

Natural Fibre Arts in an online fibre craft store located in Perth, Western Australia,.

It is very important to us to support our Australian farmers and the Australian wool industry as much as we can so most of our yarn bases use Aussie farmed Merino wool however there are a few that use South American wool where they are blended with another fibre such as Yak or Cashmere.

We buy our yarns from mills who in turn use ethical practices to source the fibre from farms where animal welfare standards are high and the fibre is fully traceable and sustainable. The Australian Merino wool is from sheep that have not been mulesed.  The wool fibre complies with the Australian wool industry administered National Wool Declaration Scheme.

 

Meet The Maker

Cheryl is the owner and head dyer at Natural Fibre Arts. When you send in an email or call us by phone, she is the person who will answer your questions, help you with colour choices and any other questions you may have.

Cheryl has been a knitter and crocheter since she was about 8 years old, taught by both her mother and grandmother. She has also been hand dyeing yarn and fibre since 2008 originally using natural dyes and later moving into our preferred method using the Greener Shades Dyes which are organically certified and contain no harsh chemicals.

In 2012 Vanessa, Cheryl's daughter, joined Natural Fibre Arts as a dyer. She has a wonderful creative flare for gorgeous colour combinations and a passion to develop new colourways.

As a busy mum of two gorgeous boys she has limited time to knit but manages to create a sock or two here and there. She would much rather spend her time creating new colour collections whenever she gets the chance.

In addition to yarn, we also carry a range gorgeous handcrafted items from other ethical companies and indie makers who we love.

We really appreciate the support of each and every person who buys our yarn and products. Every skein of our hand dyed yarn is a piece of art and has a little piece of our heart and soul in it.

Please join us on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram where you can find us under the Naturalfibrearts name or click through on the links above or our social media icons on our homepage.

And finally we LOVE to see what you are making with our yarns, so share them using the hashtag #naturalfibrearts or #nfayarn so they show up on our social media feeds when we are scrolling.
