KnitPro Limited edition set Sweet Affair

KnitPro is launching a beautiful new gift set for the winter months: Sweet Affair. This Limited Edition set not only offers the finest combination of knitting needles, but also beautiful hand-dyed yarns from the KnitPro Symfonie Yarns collection. Whether you opt for refined lace knitting or a wonderfully warm winter knit, the possibilities are endless with the Sweet Affair set. The interchangeable needles and double pointed needles in this set are reminiscent of the KnitPro Zing knitting needles, but have subtle, delicate pastel colours. The different shades of each needle size make them easy to recognise. The double pointed needles and interchangeable needle tips are neatly stored in a beautifully designed rectangular needle case in dainty pastel colours, with pockets for the needles and a zippered pocket for small accessories, such as the (included) cables, needle stoppers and stitch markers. The needle case with rounded corners can be closed with a zipper. The beautiful hand-dyed Terra yarn that is part of the Sweet Affair set comes from the Symfonie Yarns collection by KnitPro. Terra is made from 75% Superwash merino wool and 25% nylon, has a fingering weight and a holds 380 metres of yarn per 100 grams. The recommended needle size is 2.25-3.25mm. Terra is wonderfully soft, but still strong thanks to the nylon content. The shoulder bag, designed in the same style as the needle case, provides enough space to carry your project, all the needles and extra yarn.

Scheepjes Crafty Celebration

Whether it's to say happy birthday, congratulations, thank you Mum, or just because, yarn makes a superb gift for any craft lover! That's why Scheepjes created the Crafty Celebrations Colour Pack, the perfect 'out of the box’ idea. This curated gift set contains six colour-themed balls of 100% Mercerised Cotton Maxi Sweet Treat; a versatile yarn that can be used for many crafts such as needle tatting, hairpin lace, fine knitting and delicate crochet. The subtle shine and smooth finish make it lovely to embroider with too, and the 25g/140m balls make those stitches go a very long way!

Scheepjes' celebration packs are presented in a silver keepsake tin, protected by an attractive cardboard box, making them easy to post and ensuring gifts will be received in pristine condition. With a twist on the traditional celebratory offerings of flowers and fizz, there's a choice of two colourways - Floral Bouquet and Sparkling Champagne. The first exudes happiness, with its mix of vibrant shades inspired by gloriously bright summer gardens, while the other is a serene and sophisticated combination of warm neutrals and soft peachy hues for understated elegance.
