Why Little Yarn is worth it
Little Yarn makes romantic knits with a little edge: frilled, fitted tops that look vintage without feeling precious.
The knit tops are the heart of it, close-fitting with soft ruffles, bows and lace-up details, alongside sheer mesh skirts and logo tees. Everything comes in small batches from a Byron Bay team that uses deadstock fabric where it can, so pieces rarely come back once they're gone.

About Little Yarn
Sophia Gibbs founded Little Yarn in Byron Bay in 2024, and the label had Iris Law asking about it before it had even launched.
Each top is named after a friend who backed the label, and the look stays consistent: vintage-inspired, a little romantic, a little sexy, made in small runs.

What shoppers say
From reviews and try-on videos, in our words.
- Fit
True to size, with knits cut close to the body, so size up if you like a looser feel.
- Fabric
The knits are custom merino blends mixed with polyester and acrylic, so expect softness rather than pure wool.
- Demand
Drops are small and rarely restock, and the graphic tees sell out again and again.
- Shipping
US orders arrive with import duties covered. Returns go back to Australia at your cost and are refunded as store credit.
