Here’s a matter really close to my heart. So excited to launch this! Read on below where to find it. 🫶🏼

Potter’s Market is officially open!

If your hands are feeling the hard work of making, creating, or gardening, come revive them with Potter’s Hands – Botanical Hand Mask.

Crafted in Nelson by Past Forward NZ, this truly nourishing, plant-based rescue treatment is packed with New Zealand botanicals like kawakawa, manuka needles, chamomile and calendula to deeply restore tired skin.

Grab your jar for $55.00 at two spots in town:
• Myriam Goos Market Stall (today only) – at the Potter’s Market on Trafalgar Square (part of Nelson Clay Week!)
• COMMON THREADS NZ – Our store at 131 Bridge Street (inside bridgeststudios_nelson)

Stop by, say hello, and treat your hands to the honest, soothing relief they deserve. See you there!

My colour pallet is a rather natural one and ai adore every single bit of it.

Ready to start a new project! I will dive right back into crocheting (after roughly 7 years) and will take you along on my journey using the whole colour range of our beautiful worsted wool yarn (end of mill runs).
Stay tuned, it’ll be fun! 🧶

This is such an interesting read about the different and in part surprising powers the apparent simple task of knitting holds. And Common Threads is here for all of them.

Labour MP Deborah Russell’s knitting caused a stir in parliament. But the humble craft has a long history as a tool for protest, solidarity and political change.
