Project Knit Well

Get yourself a lovely knitted garment from the Project Knit Well volunteers!

Arthritis New Zealand has partnered with a group of knitting volunteers in what we call Project Knit Well.

The knitters make hats, beanies, scarves, gloves, socks, booties, and leg warmers for you to buy from Arthritis NZ to help raise funds to keep our Arthritis Assist services available.

Each item is specially crafted for our audience and no two are alike! See what we have available and support the work Arthritis NZ does in helping improve the lives of people affected by arthritis.

Knitting and Arthritis

Some people with arthritis find that knitting is a useful pain management tool known as Distraction. Keeping up with hobbies you love is also a crucial tool in your pain management box.
