Products of the Month February

Roses are red… and are so our February deals

We love February. It’s the most romantic month of the year and also marks the start of the shift away from forbidding winter to the new shoots of spring. We’re still wrapping up warm, but already thinking of places to visit and longer walks to enjoy with our nearest and dearest.

In fact, because Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, we’ve had a rummage through our yarns and come up with 10 fabulous red yarns you can use to get creative and show off your affections. And to encourage you in your romantic endeavours, we’re giving you 15 percent off any of these 10 red yarns throughout the month of February.

Lacet Wrist Warmer in Dark Red
as seen in the Knitting Magazine.

If you want to make something snug to keep your loved one cosy, how about knitting a pair of Lacet Wrist Warmers in Bright Red Mulberry Silk Merino Wool Yarn? You’ll need just a single skein of yarn and a set of 4mm double-pointed needles.


Your sweetheart is also certain to love a gift of snug wristwarmers made from a skein of our popular multi-coloured Kolibri Wool Yarn. Using 5mm dpns or a circular needle, you’ll be able to impress them with a pair of fabulous Velvet Wrist Warmers knitted in Red Berry Kolibri Yarn combining lace and cabled panels.

Wrist warmers are ideal for this time of year when it’s getting warmer but still a bit chilly. Another great way to cover up is with a lightweight Ladder Stitch Scarf knitted in knitshop.co.uk’s Cotton Linen Blend Yarn. Make one in Carnation Red from a single 100g skein.

For a cosy and soft scarf, opt for a couple of skeins of Red Cotton Plied Wool yarn. This luxurious yarn is warm and lightweight and looks wonderful when used to knit simple but bold patterns. For example, you could use it to create a k4 p4 rib pattern on 4.5mm needles.

If you really want to make your loved one feel special you could knit or crochet a bouquet of roses using our Flame Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn or another fine yarn such as Red Mulberry Silk Plied Yarn. You can download the flower pattern for free and just need a pair of 2.5mm or 3mm needles to knit them on.


All the yarns we’ve mentioned above are included in our February Product of the Month promotion, which means you get 15 percent off. For the full list of red yarns included in this deal, see the links at the bottom of the page.
