Nothing like setting up for a market to make you realise how low your stock levels are. Better get knitting! Meanwhile I'm here at the Waitara Noon Market till 4. Waitara War Memorial Hall.

At My Walk in Wardrobe at the YMCA New Plymouth till 2.

The sun is out and The Seaside Market is humming. Come and grab lunch while you're here. Open till 2.

This weekend! See you there!

Stunning day at The Seaside Market. Here till 2 😊

Fabulous day at the refreshed Bell Block Market today. Shame about the weather but we were nice and dry inside.

Tomorrow is sun and The Seaside Market. Yay!

Busy weekend ahead! Bell Block Market on Saturday from 9 till 12 and The Seaside Market on Sunday from 9 till 2. Bring it on!

Fantastic day for a family beach trip. Sun, beach volleyball, Waterworld inflatable park, and The Seaside Market. What’s not to love!

Here till 2

I have decided that the bags don’t need to wait for a once a year dedicated market. We have been at the last two The Seaside Market alongside Wildteal Charms with one or two new bags each market and it’s been great being able to share my love of NZ wool. Sooooo - we will be at the following Seaside Markets:

Sunday Jan 21st
Sunday February 4th (Waitangi Weekend)
Sunday March 31st (Easter)
Friday June 28th (Matariki)

Back at the Stratford A&P Association Show. And today there’s sunshine! It’s a great day for a family day out.

Cold but fine at the Stratford A&P Association Show. Fab family day out - 9am to 4pm today and tomorrow.

I know it's last minute but Wildtealnz will be joining Wildteal Charms at the Stratford A&P Show this weekend! We've been busy knitting away and have some new stock so come and find us in the foyer of the craft hall.

Seaside Market on Sunday 12th.

We will be there! It’s probably our last market before Christmas so come do your gift shopping on Sunday 😊

What's on your Christmas list? Why not come shop and support local this Thursday evening 4-8pm and Sunday 9-2pm at The Seaside Market
And top it off with dinner from our delicious food trucks and stalls.

A sneak peak into the process. Here is a freshly knitted bag ready for felting (silver grey). The Goldenrod colour bag is felted and dried. There’s a significant size difference! Notice how all the knitted texture disappears when felted? The texture takes longer to knit but it helps with the final fabric stability.

Felting makes a lovely thick fabric for these hand knitted bags.

Cross body bag. A dark, slightly brickish red. This one was a challenge to knit but well worth it after felting.

Cloche style hat. Knitted with pure NZ wool then felted.

NZ high country wool knitted then felted.
