Feel the sunshine on the faces of locals chatting over the farm fence and riding a hay cart on the Summer panel.

Roam the hillsides and admire the majesty of the Tiers and villages on the Autumn panel.

Crisp mountain pools and dark caves shelter a Thylacine family and numerous other native animals on the Winter panel.

Yarns has been awarded a TripAdvisor Travellers Choice Award so you are assured of a quality experience.

An audio presentation with lighting effects provides information about what the panels depict and how they were made. The audio provides regional history and interesting facts about the Great Western Tiers. After the presentation Yarns can be browsed at leisure providing opportunities to further discover the beauty of Yarns Artwork in Silk.
