We're hiring!
Would you like to work with us? We're looking for someone to join as a casual part of our small but mighty team.
Holland Road Yarn Co isn't just a shop, it's a place where we build a community of knitters and crafters. We really love our customers and bend over backwards to bring them the best possible yarn buying experience.
Role: Casual
Hours: average 4 per week, spread out over a month
Potential availability required:
- 2pm - 4pm Wednesday to Friday
- Saturday 10am - 4pm
- Sunday 11am - 3pm
- Thursday 7pm - 9pm
We're looking for someone who can cover ad-hoc hours when permanent staff aren't available or we need extra cover.
In a given week, this might look like supporting an event on or off-site, covering Craft Night and working a Sunday shift. Or it could be working 10-2 on a Saturday while Tash is teaching.
There is the possibility of more hours as we increase our class and event offerings.
The roster is usually confirmed a month in advance, but you may be required at a day’s notice to cover illness.
Our ideal person is:
- a knitter and / or crocheter
- loves helping people find solutions
- welcoming and inclusive
- confident with technology - we use Shopify and google docs, on Apple devices
- willing to keep the store clean and tidy
- confident being sole-charge in store
- able to start in early to mid-April

You may also be:
- a spinner, weaver, stitcher or sewist

- easy parking if needed
How to apply:
Send us a personally written (not generated) cover letter and short resume by Wednesday Friday 27 March to tash@hollandroadyarn.co.nz.
We don't use AI to screen applications.
Interviews will be held before Easter.
