Quest Nelson

The Nelson City Crochet Canopy is up!
Tucked away in Crisps Lane you’ll find a special piece of Whakatū – look up and you’ll see over 10 metres of crochet created by the crocheters of Nelson!
Over the last four months 10 ‘Learn to Crochet’ classes have taken place in Nelson & Tasman, over 150 people have donated items, and eight beautiful 2mx2m panels of crochet have been sewn together.
Fabulous crochet has been flooding in from the people of Whakatū, and an estimated 1500 hours have gone into making the panels – it’s been a collaborative community arts project on an epic scale!
The Crochet Canopy Project is a summer installation, remaining in Crisps Lane for 4-6 weeks, so drop in and enjoy it while you can! Crisps Lane is a public thoroughfare, so please watch out for cars!
