The Australian Wool Story
Before sketches or sewing, there is material — and for us, that material is Australian wool. Chosen for comfort and performance, but also for its origin. It's Home.
Dawn Black was created on my nan Dawn’s legacy as an Australian landscape artist. She taught me to see texture, light, and feeling in natural surfaces. Working with lambswool and merino is a continuation of that way of connecting with her, and carrying on her legacy.
These fibres are known for their softness, strength, and natural performance. We build around Australian wool not as a trend, but as a foundation — traceable, enduring, and made to be worn and kept.
Why Australian Wool?
Australian wool sits at the heart of Dawn Black. We choose it not only for its recognised quality, but for its connection to place, craft, and story. Shaped by Australia’s climate and refined through generations of expert farming, these fibres are naturally fine, strong, and resilient — ideal for garments designed to be worn often and kept long. Working with Australian wool allows us to stay close to source and true to our roots, creating pieces that feel grounded, enduring, and intentional. 🖤
Did you know?
Australia produces around 25% of the world’s wool — and at Dawn Black, we choose these homegrown fibres for their softness, strength, and sense of place.
