Where to get Yarn in Perth WA

Whether you’re casting on your first pair of socks or knee-deep in a sweater project, finding the right yarn in Perth doesn’t have to be a mission. From big-box convenience to boutique bliss, here’s a guide to where you can stock up across the city.

The Everyday Go-Tos

Sometimes you just need yarn today — and these stores have you covered. With locations spread across Perth’s suburbs, they’re perfect for beginners, last-minute projects, or when you just need a few balls of something reliable.

Kmart is a solid first stop for budget-friendly acrylic yarns and basic craft supplies. Great for kids’ projects or trying out a new pattern before committing to expensive fibre.

Big W often stocks a broader range than you’d expect, with some decent mid-range options alongside the basics. Worth a browse — you occasionally find a hidden gem.

Spotlight is the heaviest hitter of the three for yarn specifically. With regular sales and a wide range of brands, it’s a go-to for many Perth crafters. Grab a loyalty card if you haven’t already — the discounts add up fast.

The Specialist Yarn Stores

This is where things get exciting. Perth’s specialist yarn stores are growing in number, and each one brings its own personality, community, and carefully curated range. If you’ve never set foot in one, prepare to have your world rocked (and your wallet lightened).

Crossways Wool & Fabrics — Subiaco

A beloved institution for Perth crafters, Crossways is the kind of shop that makes you want to slow down and touch everything. Wool, fabric, and a knowledgeable team who genuinely love what they sell.

Calico & Ivy — Swanbourne

A gorgeous little shop in Swanbourne stocking fabrics alongside a carefully curated range of yarns with a leaning toward natural fibres. The kind of place you pop in for one skein and leave with a full project haul and a new favourite colourway.
