Our Story
Proudly Western Australian, Proudly Family Owned
Nestled in the heart of Western Australia, Swoolly By Scanlan stands as a testament to three generations of commitment to the artistry of knitwear. Since its inception, our family-run brand has been synonymous with warmth, comfort, and the timeless elegance of 100% Western Australian wool.
Founded by Peter Scanlan, a pioneer in the wool industry, Scanlan Wools set the stage for what would become a legacy of excellence. Established in 1986, this wool buying company laid the foundation for Swoolly By Scanlan, ensuring that each garment is not merely a piece of clothing but a narrative woven with the threads of heritage.
Our dedication to crafting knit garments exclusively from Western Australian wool is a tribute to the region's rich textile legacy. The wool, known for its exceptional quality, provides a luxurious touch, unmatched durability, and a natural warmth that reflects the essence of the Australian landscape.
As a family-run brand, Swoolly By Scanlan takes pride in its generational expertise. Passed down through the years, the artistry of knitting is an integral part of our DNA, ensuring that each creation is a seamless blend of tradition and contemporary style.
