Unleash your inner crafting rogue and knit your waste wool into something wonderful and wearable! Join us for a creative day with yarns, celebrating the opening of the NZ Fashion Museum’s newest exhibition, KNIT: original fashion created from yarn.
This hands-on day of learning and making is for the whole whānau, where you can create something unique to take home. Choose your adventure: Pirate Knitting with Cher, mini loom weaving with the RAU Textile Research team from AUT, or knot and knit a scrappy scarf with Margaret Lewis.
