Knitting kits

The yarns in the kits have been chosen for the stories they can tell.  There are fantastic wools from the British Isles, in natural tones and coloured with plant dyes - Herdwick and Swaledale from the Lake District and the Yorkshire Moors, fabulous rainbows of colour grown, spun and dyed from Shetland sheep in the Shetland Isles, fairytale colourful recycled silk yarns from southern India, hand spun by women's co-operatives using the waste fibres collected from the sari weaving mills... each yarn spins it's own story.

Each kit contains either a single pattern or a set of patterns created for that yarn type, enough yarn to make it up (with usually a little bit extra for your stash) plus any buttons, zippers or other embelishments or accessories required to make up and the right sized needle so you can get started knitting straightaway.  If you like the pattern but the kit doesn't show up in your favourite colours, drop me a line and if I have the yarn colours you like, I can custom make a kit for you.  There are new kits coming on line all the time, I just have to create the designs....

If you know a knitter and don't know what to get them at gift times, splash out on one of these colourful knitting kits and make their day.
