Our story
More than 50 years of creativity, community and craftsmanship
There’s a particular joy in making something with your own hands. We’ve been helping Perth find it since 1973, one skein, one pattern and one conversation at a time.
At home in Subiaco
For more than 50 years, Crossways Wool & Fabrics has been part of the fabric of Subiaco. Established in 1973, shortly after the Crossways Shopping Centre was built, we’ve proudly called the centre home ever since. While we’ve moved between shops within the centre and welcomed several owners over the years, one thing has remained constant: a commitment to quality products, genuine advice, and the kind of personal service that’s becoming increasingly rare.
A new chapter
Today, Crossways begins an exciting new chapter under new ownership. As passionate knitters, crocheters and makers ourselves, we understand the joy that comes from creating something by hand. Our vision is simple: preserve everything customers have loved about Crossways for generations, while thoughtfully improving the experience for both our long-time regulars and those discovering us for the very first time.
Whether you’re picking up your very first pair of knitting needles or you’ve been crafting for decades, you’ll always receive a warm welcome. We believe every project starts with the right advice, and our team is here to help you choose the perfect yarn, find the right pattern, solve a tricky problem, or simply share in your enthusiasm.
For Makers, By Makers
Our store is home to an extensive collection of yarns, wool, fabrics, haberdashery, patterns, needles, crochet hooks, accessories and creative tools. From everyday favourites to premium fibres and beautiful specialty yarns, we’ve carefully curated a range that inspires creativity while offering something for every skill level and budget.
But Crossways has always been about more than what’s on the shelves.
It’s about the conversations over the counter. The excitement of starting a new project. The satisfaction of finishing one. The friendships formed through a shared love of making. We love seeing what our customers create, and we’re always happy to offer advice long after you’ve taken your purchase home.
As we look to the future, our commitment remains the same as it has been for over 50 years: to be Perth’s favourite destination for knitting, crochet, wool, fabrics and creative inspiration.
Whether you’re searching for your next project, learning a new skill or simply looking for a little inspiration, we’d love to welcome you into the store.
❤️ Karen, Tegan & Alice
