Every month the Under­ground Mar­ket has a larg­er Theme Mar­ket with more spe­cial­ty stalls. This Sat­ur­day it’s about wool, things made from wool, and things to do with wool. So quite sur­pris­ing­ly they call this spe­cial­i­ty event the Won­ders of Wool. It runs from 10am till 4pm this Sat­ur­day May the 4th.

Some of the bet­ter known indie dyers at the mar­ket are Auck­land’s Hap­py Go Knit­ty, Veran­dah Yarns, Joy of Yarn and knitsch from Hol­land Road in Petone. Plus you can expect a myr­i­ad of hand knits and knit­ting tools to go with all the yarn.

Tash from Hol­land Road Yarn, will be there with her own knitsch range of hand dyed yarn (and I’ve seen Tash’s hands after a dye­ing ses­sion and con­firm it’s all done by her). oth­er yarns and loads of tool for turn­ing your yarn onto an object. Over at the Hol­land Road web­site you can win a twice as nice tick­et to Hand­made 2013  (more about that next week)
