Yarn
yarn (yärn) n. 1. A continuous strand of twisted threads of natural or synthetic
material, such as wool or nylon, used in weaving or knitting.
2. Informal. A long, often elaborate narrative of real or fictitious adventures; an
entertaining tale. [1]
In Australia, a yarn is also colloquially known
as an entertaining tale, because of the many
strands that make up the tale. Shearers were
well known to tell yarns while shearing the
wool off sheep. Some were long, some were
colourful and many yarns told were historic,
captivating and exquisite in their detail. Yarns were entertaining
and had people enthralled.
Jemala - The Golden Fibre yarns have these same properties…
long, colourful, exquisite and captivating.
Produced by some of Australia’s finest Ultrafine Saxon Merinos,
there are more strands in a Jemala yarn that any other. And what
a story they tell. It is a story of years taken to acquire knowledge

breathes and caresses the body, and redefines the word "drape".
