YarnTastic Market – Get Knit-Faced & Feel Fab - Saturday 14 June 2025 🧶🛁

It's time to stitch, soak and shop local! Join us for the YarnTastic Market, a colourful celebration of craft, community and creativity — held on the quirky combo of Worldwide Knit in Public Day and International Bath Day!

🗓️ Saturday 14 June 2025
📍 Te Atatu Peninsula Community Centre – Main Hall
🕘 10am – 2pm
595 Te Atatu Road, Te Atatu Peninsula, Auckland

🧶 Come for the Yarn, Stay for the Vibes

We’re inviting you to a fibre-filled fiesta!  Expect a vibrant mix of makers, creators and crafters – from crochet queens and purl pals to soapmakers, wood crafters, fashion jewellery makers and so much more.

Whether you’re a proud yarnaholic or just love a good handmade gift, you’ll feel right at home browsing our stalls filled with:

✨ Fibre crafts, handcrafted toys and handmade knits
🛁 Bath bombs, soaps, soaks and bath treats
🎨 Homewares, gifts and artisan items

🛁 Why Bath Day?

Because everyone deserves a good soak now and then!  International Bath Day honours that sweet moment Archimedes shouted “Eureka!” from his bathtub.  We say:  celebrate it with bubbles, bath salts and blissful body care — handmade, of course.

So while our purl pals are getting knit-faced, you can be picking up something divine for your next soak.
