About Handzon

Handzon is your happy place. After many years in physical shops, we have changed our business model. We do not have a physical shop any longer, but we are ready to serve you online and at our various pop ups and events - our Shop & Stitch days. We offer classes in an informal sewalong format during the pop up days, and I am willing to arrange classes on request - for individuals or groups. Just get in touch and we can make it happen!

we supply classes, materials and tools for knitting, crochet, sewing, quilting, hand embroidery and machine embroidery to crafters in Canterbury and beyond. 

We sell Brother sewing and craft machines and accessories, and teach the use of these as well. Some of the popular brands we carry are:

Fabric: Moda, Cathe Holden, Anni Downs, ZenChic, Liberty, French General, William Morris, Kona, Stoff, Marcus Fabrics

Crochet: Patterns and books from popular designers like Janie Crow, yarn packs and crochet kits, crochet tools.

Bagmaking: An extensive range of hardware, zippers, fabric, stabilisers and patterns. Full range of ByAnnie products.

Machine Embroidery: Madeira and Brother thread, stabilisers and tools.

And the list goes on!

I believe that creating is therapeutic and contributes to mental wellbeing. Community spirit is what it is all about at Handzon. Drop in for a visit, or join us in one of our classes or groups - we would love to meet you!
