Yarn’n, Australia’s only Indigenous-owned, locally made and 100% recycled toilet paper company, is giving 50% of its profits towards First Nations education.
Yarn’n will now be accessible to even more Australians, as Woolworths exclusively stocks its products in all its supermarkets nationwide and online starting late March.
Yarn’n was founded as an e-commerce business in 2023 after a few “yarns” between mates, former builder and proud Wiradjuri man Lane Stockton and former Wallaby David Croft, who shared a common interest in “sustainable toot paper” and a strong desire to give back to the community and keep country jobs.
Proudly FSC-certified, made from 100% recycled materials and manufactured in Australia using 50% less water and 90% less energy, Yarn’n goes above and beyond to produce high-quality, 3-ply, extra-length rolls of deadly dunny paper and deliver them around the country with the lightest footprints.
“Our collective goal is to make Yarn’n available in more homes, businesses and workplaces across the country, creating a lasting impact and helping bring about real change for First Nations children through the incredible work of the Yalari Foundation,” said Yarn’n co-founder and CEO Lane Stockton.
Half of the profits from every Yarn’n roll sold go to The Yalari Foundation, an NFP organisation providing full boarding scholarships to Indigenous children from regional and remote communities around Australia. In 2024, there were almost 250 students on Yalari scholarships nationwide, and since 2005, its alumni have consisted of over 480 graduates who are studying at university, working or undertaking further training.
“Yarn’n has always been committed to making a positive difference to the next generation of First Nations children, and this new partnership with Woolworths will mean more Aussie households can get behind the life-changing work that Yalari prides itself on,” said Yalari Founding Director Waverley Stanley AM.
