Encraftment is back for Christmas, filled with handmade gifts, artisanal products, and local makers showcasing their talents. If you’re in Christchurch on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 November, and looking for the kind of Christmas shopping that comes made with love and care, look no further than our favourite local craft market.
In the early days of Felt, one of the most exciting things about growing an online community was the many new opportunities to connect with like-minded people doing amazing things around New Zealand – and one of those new friends, back in 2009, was Josie Brennan, the founder of Fabric-a-brac. This year Fabric-a-brac is celebrating its 15th anniversary with five new locations around Aotearoa, and an incredible grand total of over $140,000 raised for hospice in New Zealand!
Whoop whoop! This Sunday is the Winter Encraftment Market, Cantabrians – mark it in your calendar and make sure you get to Lincoln…

Auckland crafties, get your skates on and wheel on over to Ponsonby Central this Saturday, because the General Collective Winter Market will be there too!
This Saturday is World Wide Knit in Public Day, and there are events on around the country to celebrate! Here in Christchurch we’d like to give a shout-out to the Midwinter Woolfeast, where they’ll be celebrating yarn in style with a gathering of New Zealand’s most talented fibre artists and indie yarn dyers – and Felt will be there too!
