Ah! Fun! Smart to focus on half — we did a big road trip in 2 weeks and were exhausted. No yarn recs for NI, sorry, we ended up at dairy farms. I’m sure you’ve got tons of things to check off!! The one store my friend rec’d to me in Auckland for local gifts unfortunately closed before we got there.

Queenstown is a bit of an ordeal even for this LA girl, but Frank’s Corner had lots of yarn (including possum 😂) and local crafts and things.
