In this video I’m taking you yarn shopping with me at Melbourne Fibrefest 2025 — one of my favorite newer yarn events. I wander the stalls, soak up all the colour and texture inspiration, and chat through what caught my eye as a budget yarn crafter who still loves a little “treat yarn” moment when it makes sense. If you’re into crochet, knitting, spinning, weaving, or just love discovering new yarn brands and unique notions, this is basically a cozy fibre field trip. After the shopping portion, I sit down and do the haul with first impressions — what I picked up, what I’m excited to make, and why certain skeins made the cut. I also share where you can find some of the makers I mention (so you can browse later without the event overwhelm). If you love yarn hauls, colour inspo, and that chill “let’s look at yarn together” vibe, you’ll feel right at home here.
