Caring for communities through thread-based crafts, Crafting Threads of Aroha needs a website!

    We are delighted to say we now have a website. If you haven't already checked it out, please take a look at craftingthreadsofaroha.nz

    We couldn't have done it without your support to pay for the software licence and setup fees. We even have funds set aside for next year's costs so a very big thank you. And of course huge thanks to our volunteer website developer.

    This is our first iteration and we have plans to add to it to make it an even better resource for our crafters, the organisations we support and the public.

    Dear Crafters and Craft supporters

    Having recently reviewed our finances and fundraising options we think we will be able to proceed with the plans for our website using funds now in hand. To that end we are closing our Give A Little page early. We intend to have our test site created over Jan/Feb 2024, work out any kinks and then launch for real Feb/Mar 2024. We wish to thank you all for your contributions, your assistance means the world to us.

    Yours sincerely

    Crafting Threads of Aroha Trustees

  • Baby Knits

    One of the important things we do is get information out to our crafters. Nearly all charities require that baby knitting be done with 100% wool, as this helps the babies to regulate their temperature. A website is a key tool in communicating with both our crafters and the charities we support.

    It's almost the end of Breast Cancer Awareness month and we thought we would highlight what we do to help. Our crafters make knockers, silky pillows and covers for drainage bags.

    A very big thanks to all who have supported us so far. Please spread the word to your friends, family and work mates. Having a website will mean we can connect to more charities and more crafters.
