BJ’S COLOURWAYS & COLLECTIBLES
AN ALADDIN’S CAVE OF COLOUR AND
VARIETY
Having enjoyed
working with all sorts of Fibrearts for most of my life, opening BJ’s
Colourways & Collectibles is the fruition of a dream 30 years in the
making. Invercargill is certainly a place where dreams can come true.
The business has
grown way beyond the initial vision, with many products being imported then
dyed for your enjoyment as you use them.
My vision is to have a variety of products not readily available anywhere else for the adventurous
embroiderer, knitter, felter and all Fibre Artists. Because most of my products are hand dyed, I
am able to dye colours for all your projects.
I like to be
able to help you learn new skills, and give you ideas for using new products,
so you can create something individual, even if you have followed a pattern,
but have used different threads or colours.
What treasures
you will discover on a visit to BJ’s Colourways at 21 Price Street,
Invercargill. We are easy to find –
first on the left off the North Road, behind Nichol’s Garden World, open 9am –
