Lincraft has always been led by skilled retailers with a vision that has allowed the company to diversify and grow, with over 67 stores in Australia and New Zealand.
Beginning as a fabric stall in Melbourne in the 1950’s, Lincraft was nurtured by three generations of the Ross family before current owners John Maguire and Brian Swersky established Lincraft Australia in 2005.
Lincraft specialises in craft, fabric, yarn, haberdashery, window furnishings, manchester, fashion accessories and much more. We value the ever changing and evolving world of craft, sending our most passionate buyers to the ends of the earth to the world’s major craft, yarn and fabric fairs, with strict instructions to source the latest in fashion and creative ideas, and return with fresh inspiration for our customers.
Here at Lincraft, we know that nothing is more rewarding than creating something with your own hands, and once the love of craft starts, it can be difficult to stop! That’s the inspiration behind Lincraft’s “How To Make” series – bags to bolero’s, slippers to hoodies, patchwork quilts to Christmas scrapbooks - an entire library of free projects that are easy to do, hard to resist and available in store or online!
Australia’s biggest online craft store is now open for business at www.lincraft.com.au.
