Hi All
I won a local Trade me Auction and went to pick up my winnings.
I ended up here,;
www.hallblacks.co.nz
The Website is a little out of date, but they have a shop in their garage that has a large amount of wools for knitting and spinning (carded) and Mary is also sourcing wool for weavers. (a large group of local spinners had just cleaned her out of fine yarns)
I was particularly interested in this for Naalbinding:

1.5kgs of wool is a lot of wool! Think a shopping bag fill to bursting! So I should get a few hats and the like from this!
I also saw this silkwool (Kid Mohair -60%,Merino - 30%,Silk - 10%) and it is fantastic to touch (probably not authentic );

For the knitters Mary also sells wooden knitting needles from 3mm up to 15mm square needles
