knitshop.co.uk Christmas Shopping Guide

What to buy the avid knitter? Yarn! Yarn! Yarn!

The softest, warmest yarns come from natural fibers – and knitshop.co.uk stocks nothing but. We’ve got handspun pure wool, exceptionally soft alpaca – ideal if you want to be sure sensitive skins won’t be irritated – merino, silks, mohair and more.

Step inside the knitshop.co.uk Boutique Outlet for some knitting and crochet inspiration.

Our best-selling Kolibri Wool Yarn is a vibrant mix of complementary shades. Jumpers, hats and scarves all look great knitted up in this lovely wool yarn. Choose from 10 very different shades. It knits up beautifully on 5mm or 6mm needles and also lends itself to felting.

For sheer luxury, it’s hard to beat the feel of knitshop.co.uk’s Mohair Silk Yarns. This exceptionally soft yarn keeps you really cosy yet hardly weighs anything. It’s ideal for wraps, scarves and anything lacy. A 125m mohair and silk skein costs just £5.95 and there’s a choice of nine pretty colours.

Knitting Kits

Knittingkits are always popular and have the advantage of being guaranteed to include everything the recipient needs to complete their project.

We’ve put together a chunky hat knitting kit based around our Kolibri Wool Yarn. The hat pattern, bamboo needles and a hank of Kolibri Wool Yarn in your favourite colours cost just £11.80.

Felting Kits

The Butterfly Felting Kit, for example, contains four colours of felting wool, a felting needle, instructions and a small punching pad so. If you prefer, we also have a Flower Felting Kit. Both are just £4.95 each.

CREATE your very own knitting, crochet or felting kit as a present - visit the Boutique Outlet and we will assist you in to create your own knitting, crochet or felting kits. Choose a pattern or a book of patterns  and enough yarn and the accessories to complete the project.

To make your gift of knitshop.co.uk products even more special, we can gift-wrap them for you.
