For a small country, Aotearoa New Zealand offers an extraordinary blend of breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable experiences. From the geothermal wonders of the North Island to the majestic alpine scenery of the South, you’ll be surrounded by golden plains, dramatic coastlines, untamed wilderness, and pristine forests. Along the way, we’ll explore this remarkable volcanic landscape, with plenty of woolly adventures woven throughout.


Join fellow knitters and fibre enthusiasts on an intimate journey through New Zealand’s scenic backroads, where the love of knitting and exquisite yarn is celebrated at every stop. Our South Island stays include the spectacular Otago Peninsula and the charming mountain town of Glenorchy. Immerse yourself in a geothermal wonderland, participate in inspiring knitting workshops with talented local artisans, and discover beautifully curated yarn shops along the way.


This is more than just a trip—it’s an opportunity to embrace creativity, culture, and connection, all set against the stunning backdrop of New Zealand. And of course, we have a few delightful surprises in store!
