10. A Sustainable Clothing Journey: From Farm to Fibre

The ReNewy Living Podcast

When you buy clothes off the rack, you're buying the final product. The care tag might tell you the basic information - what it’s made of, where it was made and even where it was designed. But decades of globalised production have left us disconnected from our clothes and the journey it takes to get to us.

Rebecca Muscat from Three Muscats Fibre Farm in Singleton, Hunter Valley is a passionate textile and fibre artist. As a first-generation small farm owner , she’s deeply connected to every step of her craft. Her family cares for the animals whose wool is the basis of her clothing creations.

Rebecca’s story reminds us that behind every piece of clothing, there’s a process, a history, and, in her case, a whole lot of heart.
