Pamela Sistrunk

Pamela Sistrunk is a dedicated Textile Artisan and has been designing throws and scarves for many years. She discovered a joy for weaving and spinning and has an avid interest in designing and creating garments directly from the animal to the spinning wheel and then to the weaving loom. Pamela likes to design garments that are unusual using different types of yarns so that they have a soft feel to them and are interesting. It is important that the garment is beautiful but it must also be functional. Pamela also likes to source local yarn and fleece from all over Australia where possible and strives to support ethical bespoke artisan produced textiles.

The advantage of obtaining a woven article is that it can be designed for you personally, you just need to express what you would like and Pamela can design it for you. As a textile artisan, Pamela feels it is important to pass on the traditions of weaving and spinning and Wild Yarns became the vehicle which provides this through meaningful and sustainable work and the preservation of crafts which can be handed down, generation to generation.

Pamela is very happy to be a part of the Mundaring Hills Open Studios this year and hopes that she will be a part of this venture for many years to come.
