Great Kiwi Yarns

We have been on Queen Street since 1994, and in that time the idea behind the shop has not really changed, which is to find the best merino wool clothing being made in this country and put it in front of people who will still be wearing it in twenty years. Merino is where most people start, but plenty come in asking for cashmere, so our cashmere blends sit on the same shelves as the possum and alpaca. Most of what is on the shelves comes from knitwear makers such as Merinomink, McDonald, Untouched World and Noble Wilde, so when someone asks where a piece was made, the answer is on the label and it is somewhere in NZ. A lot of our customers are only in NZ for a week or two and want one good piece of merino clothing to take home, and that suits us fine, because we ship anywhere in the world and a well made knit looks just as good in Shanghai or London as it does in Auckland.
