Most of our classes are held at our off-site studio at Unit 9/477a Devon Street East, Strandon, New Plymouth. The studio is located in the complex down the driveway beside Mitchell’s Cycles. Drive down to the end of the driveway and turn right. We are in the last building. (This is also where our old store was located.)

Pudding and Purl is held inside our New Plymouth Flagship Store at 311 Devon Street East.

If our studio is unavailable for a class, an alternative location will be arranged, and you will be notified.

Weekday daytime classes: Please park on Devon Street, as there is no parking available within the complex during the week.

Night and weekend classes: You are welcome to drive down and park within the complex.

Materials vary for each class and are specified on the individual class pages. We have a wonderful selection of yarn in our Flagship Store, along with beautiful bamboo and driftwood knitting needles and crochet hooks, perfect for learning with!

Once you have booked, we are happy to offer you a 10% discount on the materials needed for your class when purchased in-store.

We won’t have water available at the studio, so you may also like to bring a drink bottle.

Each class’s experience level is specified in the ‘Details’ accordion on the class page. If prior experience with a particular technique is required, this will be clearly stated.

If you’re unsure whether your skills are the right fit for a class, please get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to help.

Please note that all class participants must be aged 12 years or older.

If you are unable to attend your class, please notify us as soon as possible.

If you’d like to learn something different from what we offer, or need personalised help with techniques, patterns or a project you’re stuck on, our experienced, award-winning tutor is here to help!

One-on-one sessions are available by the hour, at a time that suits you.

Simply leave a brief note in the ‘Order Notes’ section at checkout or give us a call to let us know what you’d like to learn, along with your preferred dates and times. We’ll then be in touch to confirm the details with you.

Private classes for small groups can also be arranged by request, whether you’d like to learn one of our existing classes or explore something of your own choice.

Please note that all class participants must be aged 12 years or older.

If we do not reach the minimum number of participants required to run a group class, we will either cancel or postpone the class to another date.

We reserve the right to cancel a class due to unusual or unforeseen circumstances. We will do our best to avoid this wherever possible, but sometimes cancellations are unavoidable. In these situations, we will, of course, offer a full refund.

We’re sorry, but we cannot be financially responsible for extreme weather conditions or any other situations beyond our control.

Learn to knit or crochet classes: You’ll learn basic skills and techniques to build your confidence, giving you the foundation to move on to a pattern of your own.

Project classes: You’ll learn the trickier parts of the pattern, with homework to complete between classes. Some projects may need to be finished at home once the class has ended. By then, you should have all the skills you need to confidently finish your project on your own.
