This unique shop stocks garments and yarns made from wool, cashmere and alpaca fibre, handspun and hand dyed using natural materials from the bush and the garden. There are also items made by Barraba’s top fibre artists, Gerda Gamper, Jenny Farrer, and Alison Ervine, on sale. You can also find works by Chris Godfrey. Most of the garments, rugs and yarns are made from fleeces grown in Barraba. Merlene herself can usually be found in the shop which is also her spinning studio. It is worth a call to make sure the shop is open when you plan your visit.

Community op-shop is an initiative of a few civic minded women who saw what they believed was a need and are in the process of fulfilling it.  A shop and meeting place where donations are recycled back to the community at prices that are give-away, and where all profits are channeled to the Barraba citizen’s committee to use for the benefit of the community. No one at the op-shop receives a salary. Anyone in need is helped directly.

92 Queen Street.
