Good Wool Hunting Hello & welcome. We are a Wairarapa based retailer of yarns and accessories Bidwills Cutting Rd. Hello, we're Rachel & Bruce.

Our Greytown shop has been likened to a sweet shop for knitters and crocheters! Fri to Sunday, 10-4pm (by appt outside of those days/times :) ) We've been married for over 25 years, and have three adult children (24, 22 and 19 years). We started off as online-only in September 2021, but we opened a bricks-and-mortar shop in Greytown, November 2023. Our driving force has always been to provide to our customers a wide selection of quality yarns, accessories, needles and notions at affordable prices. On weekends, we dye our own yarns, and produce project bags and knitting balms (Greytown Fibre Co.) It's wonderful to be able to source overseas yarn brands and bring them to this part of the world. In September/October of 2026, we will be opening "The Crafty Pen", a community craft space where knit-nights, workshops and gatherings can happen for our local Wairarapa community. We hope you enjoy creating as much as we do.

It's all go here! We are getting the heat pump installed this morning, plus Danny is building a ramp to make The Crafty Pen more accessible. It's all too much for Murphy, who is taking refuge in Danny the Builder's van 🥰. One of the signs are up, too.

There's been a huge surge of popularity with weaving in the Wairarapa recently. This is all down to the beginners classes held in Pirinoa by the lovely Cris Mirkin! Louise, one of her students, recently completed the two day class. Attached are photos of the two scarfs woven with the beautiful Malabrigo Rios wool (available at Good Wool Hunting). The pink scarf uses Rios "Anniversario", and the green one is in "Solis". They're simply gorgeous! 😍

Louise says that "learning to weave with Cris Mirkin at Weaving Wairarapa was so easy and fun." To produce both scarves, Louise used an Ashford Sampleit Loom. Now that Good Wool Hunting is an Asford Dealer, you can get all your Ashford weaving supplies from us.

Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful woven scarves with us, Louise. All the best for your next scarf in "Glazed carrot"!

A finished pair of socks 🤩 I begun these in September after needing a break from my sock yarn infinity scarf project (which is taking forever 🤣). It's in one of the Opal colour ways from Van Gogh range (no longer available at GWH as this was the last ball, sorry!)
