AFC Inaugural Great Aussie Yarn & Fibre Market
Save the date - Sunday the 29th of March 2026, as the AFC holds its inaugural Great Aussie Yarn & Fibre Market at the Hills Hub in Emerald Victoria. It's a great opportunity to bring our licensees together to demonstrate truly Aussie made yarn and fibre products to the Australian Public. While first preference is being given to our licensees, the market is also open to other yarn and craft businesses that can demonstrate local content in their products. Link to application.
