Brilliant guide to the many places in New Zealand where you can buy everything you need to make your own textile-based crafts. Aimed at those who get warm fuzzies just walking into a wool shop, simply have to stroke the fabric at the quilt store, and long to touch the textiles at museums, this roundup of New Zealand's craftiest places will go down a treat. The book lists treasure troves for fabric lovers, embroiderers, patchworkers, knitters, spinners and other crafty types to find not only materials but inspiration on the road. And because they need frequent cups of coffee to fuel their journey and somewhere to lay their head, the book includes some favourite places along the way. There are also excellent lists of great crafty blogs and events. |
