Exciting news! We had a bit of a name and logo change :)

The last 12 months we've been doing more out of area markets (Christchurch mostly) and its been a so fun making / meeting new market buddies. We've also seen so many amazing makers making fabulous things.

We also have design ideas for handmade products that aren't scrunchies and hair accessories.

So after much thinking, we decided that Darn would become a collective. Covering off our collective creations (Me, Nanny and Russ) as well as handmade goods from other small makers.

Going forward, we're excited to champion other makers and the amazing goods they make.

In the mean time, we're still making and planning to attend markets in Marlborough, Nelson and Christchurch later in the year.
