About Tis the Season

Shelves packed with craft kits, patchwork fabrics, knitting yarn, and festive decorations give this destination quilt shop a character of its own. Alongside needlework supplies, Sashiko threads, beads, and chatelaines, they stock ready-made Christmas ornaments and DIY project kits, running hands-on workshops throughout the year that take makers from basic sewing to intricate seasonal pieces. Having dedicated craft spaces right by the materials makes all the difference when tackling a new pattern, with staff on hand to guide ongoing projects.

Visitors appreciate stumbling across uncommon crafting notions they rarely find elsewhere, with regulars calling in each week for fresh patchwork and knitting supplies or to take part in local classes. You will find them at The Matangi Factory Heritage Site on Tauwhare Road in Matangi. Doors are open Monday to Friday from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm, and Saturdays from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm. Our pick in Matangi for stocking up on needlecraft materials and finding inspiration for handmade decorations.
