Wool and the Gang takes on Hong Kong

kapok-watg-launch-01

It's official, the gang is global! From the London, to New York, to Paris, to Tokyo and now Hong Kong, everyone's getting in on the knitting action!

March 5th saw Wool and the Gang's launch at Kapok in Hong Kong. Men and women alike flocked to the store to check out our kits and have a go at knitting with our Crazy Sexy Wool. A great time was had by all and everyone was knitting and chatting away late into the evening.

Kapok is a super cool store showcasing brands that combine craftsmanship and creativity. They focus on showing products by young small companies, whose work is not available in Hong Kong. We love Kapoks ethos and are very happy to be part of their store.

Thanks to Kapok for such a warm welcome and to everyone who came down and joined in the fun!

We've only been open two months and already we've built up a strong community of Wool And The Gang regulars at our Thompson Street location. Here are just some of the people who've caught the knitting bug with us.

Get in on the action yourself and drop into one of our 'knitting surgeries' on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 5 - 7pm, where the Studio/Shop team will be happy to help you get started with one of our kits, trade tips or even just give you someone to chat to while you knit -- they look forward to meeting you!
