Who are we?

At Cast On A Few, we are still a very young business on a steep learning curve! We have a keen interest in supplying natural fibre yarns that are eco-friendly and ethically sourced and manufactured.

Our ultimate aim is to support and stock a range of natural fibre products by suppliers and artisans here in Aotearoa New Zealand. There are some wonderful stalwart NZ yarn distributors who source beautiful natural fibre yarns from further afield as well. It is very exciting discovering what is available through NZ sources and adding new things into our stock!

We also share the love of knitting and crochet with anyone who is keen to learn more or from scratch. If you can hold and use needles or a hook, we'll show you how to get started. Our lessons are fully inclusive.

For the full story so far (because there's plenty more to come!), click here and check out who's behind the Cast On A Few brand. Cast On A Few really is where all your beautiful projects begin!

Testimonial

Mrs J is like Mary Poppins when it comes to teaching. She is very good at dealing with all sorts of learning challenges whether it is with someone with Autism, old age with cognitive challenges or simply the rigid brain who doesn’t want to learn complicated tasks. She makes things very easy for anyone to be able to understand and learn. Her workshops are full of love and humour!!
