We LOVE the wonderful animals that produce fibre! You will often see some of our woolly friends underneath the historic oak tree as you arrive at Eyebright
With a growing appreciation for natural fibres and the pleasure of making something by hand, woolcraft is enjoying a well-deserved revival. Whether you're an experienced knitter, a keen crocheter, a felting enthusiast or simply tempted to try something new, there's a whole world of creativity waiting to be explored.
From beautifully soft merinos and luxurious alpacas to colourful yarns, specialty fibres and an exciting array of needles, hooks, patterns and accessories, Eyebright's Woolshop is a treasure trove of inspiration. Come and discover it for yourself!
Allow plenty of time to browse, explore the gorgeous colours and textures, find something irresistible and take home the beginnings of your next creative adventure. Whether you're looking for something special or simply fancy a little woolly indulgence, we'd love to see you and have knowledgeable staff ready to help!
Wednesdays and Thursdays are very exciting days at Eyebright’s Guinea Pig Village! The furry little residents know exactly when visitors are due, and the moment they hear footsteps coming down the path, they scurry to the fence, eager to say hello and, more importantly, see what treats might be coming their way!
Pop into the shop to collect some guinea pig food, then head down to meet these adorable, whiskery characters. There’s something irresistibly entertaining about watching their excitement as they gather for a feast, and we reckon feeding them could well be the most fun you’ll have all week!

A real tree
A little magic
You choose it yourself
Eyebright is Nelson's premier destination for fresh, beautiful Christmas trees! Located conveniently at 40 McShane Road, Richmond, we are dedicated to helping you create Christmas memories that last a lifetime.
What makes Eyebright Christmas trees a cut above the rest?
1. These are not simply branches cut from forest plantations. They are grown over 3 years and carefully managed to create a thick, luscious shape.
2. Locally grown with love – Grown right here in Nelson, not transported long distances to reach your home.
3. Fresh from the farm – There's nothing quite like a freshly harvested Christmas tree, with its beautiful natural fragrance filling the house.
4. Beautiful, real Christmas trees – A genuine tree brings warmth, character and a little magic that no artificial tree can quite match.
5. Decades of growing experience – Eyebright has been growing and selling Christmas trees for many years, becoming part of the Christmas traditions of countless Nelson families.
6. A wonderful family tradition – Choosing your tree together is one of those lovely Christmas rituals that children remember long after they've grown up.
7. Naturally sustainable – Real Christmas trees are a renewable crop, absorb carbon dioxide while growing and can be chipped or composted after Christmas.
8. Supporting a local business – Buying from Eyebright keeps your Christmas spending in the Nelson community.
9. A tree with personality – Every real tree is different, with its own individual shape and character. That's part of the charm!
10. That unmistakable Christmas fragrance – The fresh, natural scent of a real tree is one of the most wonderful reminders that Christmas is almost here.
11. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without one! – For many local families, an Eyebright tree has become as much a part of Christmas as presents, pavlova and gathering around the table.
