Stitches 'N' Things (open by appointment)

Karen's appointment-only wool shop in the Gippsland Lakes town of Metung stocks Fiddlesticks and Malabrigo yarns alongside kits for blankets, shawls, and ponchos — many designed by Karen herself. Sewing machines, haberdashery, and Sashiko supplies round out the offer. The by-appointment format means you get the place to yourself.
