Misty Threads began 1 July 2000 in the mid-north NSW town of Dorrigo under local personality Carolyn Hulbert. Carolyn established the store’s reputation and Misty Threads became known for a great range of products, helpful & efficient customer service and a warm and friendly welcome. In 2017, Misty Threads found a new owner Meg, a Canberra expat, who had fun until, in 2020, along came covid. You all know the the story! Not to be beaten, Misty Threads moved online where we currently remain.
We continue to offer a wide variety of lovely fabrics, including Free Spirit, XLN, Cotton & Steel, Kennard & Kennard and M&S Textiles. Whatever your quilting style, we are sure to have something to tempt you!
Misty Threads also provides patchwork & quilting accessories, patterns, books, wool felt, embroidery threads, wool, knitting needles, general purpose sewing thread and a good range of general haberdashery.

One of Misty Threads' most popular offerings is our Authentic Aboriginal Designs. Supplied by M&S Textiles, this range includes designs from Aboriginal artists across Australia. Rich in colour, design and story, these fabrics include work from wonderful artists such as Nambooka, Colleen Wallace, Shirleen Campbell and Tanaya Price Nangala, just to name a few.
Misty Threads is proud to supply handmade products in these lovely fabrics to the Gawura Gallery, just up the road in Glen Innes. Well worth a visit with incredible artwork from Lloyd and Wendy provides amazing coffee and snacks!

For many years during the September/October school holidays, Chris & Carolyn have run an annual six day retreat for all our keen sewers, patchworkers, quilters and general crafties. The famous Misty Mountain Getaway, in conjunction with Misty Threads, is a beloved institution, drawing visitors from all over Australia. Sadly cancelled in 2020 and 2021, we are hopeful that the Misty Mountain Getaway will go ahead in 2022 and we will look forward to seeing you all in September!
