Bendigo Woollen Mills is a 100% Australian-owned yarn maker and retailer, manufacturing in Bendigo for more than 40 years. The company supports local farmers, sourcing most of its fibre in Australia and producing the majority of its range on site; a smaller selection of specialty yarns is imported from chosen manufacturing partners. Its yarns feature natural fibres, including Australian wool, superfine merino, cotton, alpaca, mohair and silk, as well as recycled natural fibres. Customers can explore core and limited-edition yarns in a variety of weights, colours and blends, with options for knitting, crochet and other craft projects.

The brand also offers patterns for women, men, children, babies and homewares, alongside independent designer patterns, free patterns, books, needles, hooks and other accessories. Its online store is open around the clock, and visitors can shop in person at the Bendigo Factory Shop, open six days a week. Through its blog and learning resources, Bendigo Woollen Mills shares project ideas, yarn guidance and craft inspiration.
