Can anyone recommend any good wool shops in or around Hamilton? I've found a couple but they're not very good.

I managed to find some wool in K Mart but there is only a very limited choice and no patterns of any description. :no

Any help would be greatly received.

Thanks guys. We went to Spotlight in Te Rapa and what a selection they have. Typically, they were carrying out a stock take so one of the aisles was closed but I managed to find some wool to keep me entertained for a while. :yes

A fellow wool fan! I was thrilled to discover a really cool knitting / wool store in the New Lynn mall (Auckland) over the weekend! Perhaps you could give it a visit if you come up this way. I was amazed at how much cheaper wool and other yarns were compared to what I had been paying in the U.S. This place is a knitters dream....

Paula, TA has TWO good wool shops, and both of the ladies are very helpful, one even runs knitting classes for children in the school holidays......

Thanks Steve, Elaine and Amy. I knew there must be some hiding somewhere. After all this is the land of the woolly sheep. :laugh
