Pull up a chair. We'd love to meet you.
Crofters Yarn is more than a woolly studio.
We're a community of *knitters, crocheters, spinners, weavers and fibre enthusiasts who come together to learn, encourage one another, share ideas and enjoy the simple pleasure of creating with our hands. We believe creativity has a wonderful way of bringing people together.
Whether you're picking up needles for the very first time or have been making for decades, you'll always find a warm welcome.
*When we mention knitters we use it very broadly to encompass all fibre crafts and makers.

Charity Knitting

Knitting with Aroha
Not every stitch we knit is for ourselves.
Sometimes the greatest joy comes from creating something that will warm the life of someone we've never met.
At Crofters Yarn, our community comes together throughout the year to knit for charities and organisations across Dunedin and Otago. Every beanie, jersey, blanket and singlet is lovingly handmade and gifted with kindness.
Whether you knit one item or twenty, every stitch makes a difference.
Nau mai, haere mai.
