Just love your shop. I visited for the first time yesterday (I live in Rotorua). Great selection of beautiful patterns and yarn. Now I've seen the yarn in the 'flesh' I will definitely purchase in the future.

Yesterday was the first time I bought wool from your shop and the first time I have attempted knitting a garment in a very long time. Thank you for your patience ensuring I had the right quantity of wool. I was most impressed with the range of wool and price points you had on offer. I know it won't be the last I time I visit and it was lovely to greeted so warmly.

I can't believe that the second part of my order was completed about 11.30 yesterday morning and the parcel was delivered to me at school today. It was put on my desk about 1.45 and could have arrived earlier.Absolutely great service from you and the courier.

I'm thrilled with the yarn I bought from you. The colours are lovely and very true to your website photographs. I visited Wild and Woolly yarns many times when I lived in Auckland and Wild and Woolly was in Devonport. Buying on line is not the same of course as buying yarn in a wool shop but it's good to know that in this case anyway the colours shown online are accurate.

Such a fabulous service, fantastically helpful staff and an excellent variety and quality of wool & accessories.

You have such a beautiful shop and your care and attention of me when recently shopping with you was exemplary! Good luck with your new venture and no doubt I will see you again soon!
Mohair knitting is one of the most misunderstood topics in modern hand knitting.
For some knitters, mohair is synonymous with softness, elegance, and beautifully light garments. For others, it brings to mind itchiness, fuzz, and a firm “no thank you.” And for many, it sits somewhere in the middle — confusing, optional, and often skipped when a pattern suggests it.
