Slow down, get cosy, and spend a few creative hours making something beautifully oversized.

In this relaxed, hands-on workshop you’ll learn how to use giant metre-long knitting needles — each one handcrafted by local woodturner Rex. Using soft New Zealand wool in your chosen colour, you’ll begin creating your own chunky knit blanket. No experience needed, just come ready to try something new.

We’ll pause for pastries, tea and coffee along the way, with plenty of time to chat, learn, and enjoy the rhythm of making.

You’ll head home with new skills, your blanket in progress (or completed!), and that deeply satisfying feeling of having made something with your hands.

🧺 Includes giant wool, your own giant needles, pastries, tea and coffee
