Those who answered the call to yarn for the National Army Museum in Waiouru's poppy project can lay down their knitting needles and hot glue guns.
The campaign has been won to make 18,166 handcrafted poppies to commemorate all New Zealand soldiers who died in World War 1.
In all, more than 30,000 poppies were made.
Poppy Project co-ordinator Alison Jones said people still making the poppies can send them in.
"Museum staff have been touched by the overwhelming response and the numerous stories of personal tributes to family members who served.
"As a result of the response staff decided it was appropriate to extend the initial 'call to yarn', with another project named 'The Last Post'," she said.
"This is to become a tribute to all other men and women who have been lost to war and conflict outside World War 1 and represents a further 12,309, based on the museum's 'Tears on Greenstone' roll of honour database."
The tribute poppies are being hand sewn on to specially made hessian panels in preparation for permanent display in the museum. Several panels are already on display.
It is planned that this will be completed in time for Anzac Day.
"Once this is completed the design of the Last Post display of poppies will be finalised."
