Join us for a delightful “Lunch & Learn” with Angela and Clare. Once a month come along to the farm with your Blackwattle yarn project and enjoy a yummy lunch whilst learning with Angela and Clare.
A really great social outing with friends who love crafting and alpacas! Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crafter, this is the perfect opportunity to enhance your skills, enjoy great company and create something beautiful. Come for the craft, stay for the friendship, and leave with new skills and wonderful memories!
Do you need help with a new knitting or crochet project? Or maybe you can’t decide on the colours for a special project? Then Lunch & Learn is for you! The day includes a delicious lunch and quality time with Angela and Clare, where you'll gain valuable insights and hands-on experience in your craft.
During your visit you will:
- have time to ask lots of questions
spend time with fellow crafters in a supportive and inspiring environment
- spend time with Angela who will guide you through personalised colour selection process to make your creations truly unique
- benefit from Clare’s expertise as she offers guidance on selecting and following patterns
- engage in practical sessions, throughout your visit, to apply new skills and techniques
- enjoy a delightful lunch (quiche and salad)
And if all that is not enough......receive 10% off all purchases made during your visit!
During the lunch break you will also have the opportunity to meet and hand feed our alpacas and llamas (weather permitting). Please advise us of any special dietary requirements in your booking form so we can accommodate you as best possible.

About Angela: Angela is the owner and creative director for Blackwattle Yarn and Fibre. Angela uses her skills learnt whilst completing a Bachelor of Visual Arts (James Cook University Townsville), to create masterpieces on yarn. Paint on canvas = paint on yarn! As a trained artist, Angela is the person to chat to regarding colour selection for your next project. She will help with what colours work, what colours don't work and why.
About Clare: We have had the pleasure of partnering with Clare when founder of Canberra's former Stitching Room, a stockist of Blackwattle Yarns. Clare brings with her a wealth of knowledge regarding sewing, knitting and crocheting. For Clare, these crafts have been a way to unwind. She loves being able to create something from nothing, and feel the textures of wool between her fingers as she knits and crochets.
