Honour, Respect & Support Indigenous Artists

"Ally-friendly" means that our products are created with the intention of welcoming everyone—Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike—to wear, appreciate, and share in the beauty of Indigenous art and culture. Each design is a collaboration with talented First Nations artists who choose to share their work in a way that invites all people to connect with, respect, and celebrate Indigenous culture.

At Yarn, we believe that cultural appreciation is about respectfully sharing and honoring Indigenous stories, symbols, and expressions. Wearing these pieces is a way to support Indigenous artists and celebrate their unique perspectives and heritage. Our artists choose to create designs for everyone because they see the power of art to foster connection and understanding across all cultures.

Every product we offer is a result of a close collaboration with Indigenous artists who want their art and stories to be shared widely. By wearing our pieces, you’re not only supporting these artists but also contributing to a greater awareness and appreciation of Indigenous culture. It’s a way to be an ally—supporting the artists, their communities, and their stories by choosing to celebrate their work.

"I want all people (allies included) to be able to proudly wear their Yarn Products, to show their support of not only me, but the broader Indigenous Australian community, as we move through a very complex but pivotal time in our country."
