About Social Crafting Groups in New Zealand
Knitting and crochet groups have been a beloved part of Kiwi culture for generations, offering more than just a chance to craft. These gatherings, known affectionately as 'knit and natter' sessions, provide valuable social connections and support networks within our local communities.
Social crafting groups offer numerous benefits:
- Skill sharing and learning opportunities
- Mental health benefits through social interaction
- Preservation of traditional crafting techniques
- Community building and friendship formation
- Creative inspiration and motivation
These groups are particularly special in New Zealand, where wool crafting has deep historical roots connected to our sheep farming heritage. They provide a modern continuation of the traditional crafting circles that have been part of our social fabric for over a century.
