Ski-Lady Posted January 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I am a knitter and plan to bring some knitting with me to pass the time on the long flights. I use natural fibers that have been processed and dyed. I know Australia can be restrictive on what is brought into the country. I was wondering if I will be able to bring natural processed yarn into the country? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsmiths Posted January 28, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I would imagine you would have no problem with knitting yarn. You can check the Australian Border Force website https://www.abf.gov.au/entering-and-leaving-australia/can-you-bring-it-in/overview , but I suspect knitting yarn is not mentioned.

I check and it doesn't mention yarn. I even tried the search function and no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerfectlyPerth Posted January 30, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Do you not think that if yarn was banned - so would clothing ? 😆 If it was freshly shorn wool straight off a sheep's back - filled with potential seeds, burrs and bugs - that would be an issue. But plain old shop bought knitting yarn is no different to someone wearing a newly knitted scarf or beanie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No luck is good luck. Bring as much yarn for personal use as you like. Anyway in Australia to spin a yarn means to tell someone a story - generally a long far fetched story - spinning a yarn. Enjoy your trip, and yarn away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarramar Posted January 31, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 31, 2023 As long as there is nothing crawling inside the ball of yarn or moth eggs, you should be good to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
