New kits for easy crafting
by Heidi on January 18, 2017
I’m a one-click type of shopping gal. Hours spent perusing, coordinating, compiling? Nooooo, thank you. If I could, I would do all my shopping with one stroke of the almighty mouse: one click and poof! There’s my spring wardrobe! Another click and viola! There’s my living room redecorating supplies.
That’s why I love our kits so much – they make crafty shopping so much easier. We do the coordinating and compiling; you do the crafting (and saving)! Here are a few new kits I’ve been eyeing:
I recently binged watch the entire Agatha Christy Poirot detective series. The Mystery varn value pack in our bouncy and lush Paragon yarn is full of luxurious hues refined enough for even the most fastidious Belgian gentleman’s taste.

We at Knit Picks definitely understand your plight and offer some helpful tips to take stock of the stash.

Hurrah for Super Tuff Puff!
by Emily G on January 5, 2017
If you know me, you know I love big yarn! That’s why I was so excited when we decided to take our already sizeable super bulky yarn, Tuff Puff, and make it EVEN BIGGER! The result is Super Tuff Puff, a gigundo (a technical term) yarn that gets an astonishing 1.5 stitches to the inch, and it’s perfect for projects with strong visual punch. Simple stitch patterns really stand out in it, and it knits up so fast it’s a bit dizzying.
