Are you ready for Textile Turnover?

Published on 18 June 2025

Kiama Council is proud to support Textile Turnover (Friday 25 July) at the Kiama Downs Surf Club.

Textile Turnover is the latest initiative of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Kiama Inc. (R3 Kiama), where stitchers can swap their unwanted fabrics, yarn, knitting needles, patterns and haberdashery for some fresh threads.

The idea is to rehome or recycle these textiles, rather than adding them to landfill.

You can drop off your unwanted sewing supplies between 1.30pm and 5pm, before the fun begins with the doors opening for people to grab themselves a bargain basement bag of knitting and sewing nirvana. 

Pay a nominal amount for what your new crafting supplies are worth. All donations go towards Reduce, Reuse, Recycling Kiama Inc to fund their sustainability projects.

There are limits on how much you can drop off, but no limit on how much you take home.

All unusable fabrics not rehomed will be sent to Upparel Australia for recycling into new products.
