Planning a gift for a knitter who already owns “everything”? Well, it’s not easy! Once a knitter learns the basics, their journey begins and with it, the ever-growing collection of knitting needles, yarn, knick-knacks, new techniques, stitches and more. Finding something they don’t already have can be challenging. But don’t worry, this holiday season, we’ve got you covered. It’s sometimes not what they don’t own but more of what they want, their preferences and what can help them enjoy knitting better.
Whether your favorite maker loves intricate lace shawls, cozy cardigans, or colorful socks, there’s always room for something special, functional, and beautifully made. Here’s your ultimate holiday gifting guide for knitters!
Premium Knitting Needles & Sets
Ask a knitter if they have enough knitting needles and you’ll get the answer that there’s always room for more. A special edition, a premium material, a beautiful wood, smooth bamboo, sleek stainless steel, incredible carbon fiber, or some other material in different sizes and lengths, there’s always something that they would love.
If your knitter already owns a few pairs, surprise them with a complete interchangeable needle set, so that they always have the right tool at hand. If they want to try a new pair, choose from mini knitting needles, petite sizes, perfect for socks and small circumference projects. Get lengths of circular needles ideal for the magic loop technique or accommodating the widest blankets.
Not just needles, explore the range of cables and other accessories!
Hand-Dyed Yarns
Give your favorite knitter some inspiration and that is what hand-dyed yarn is! Each skein is full of promise and potential with a unique personality and character. It’s a gift that knitters will cherish! From soft extra fine merino wool to silk or polyamide blends, a sock yarn to versatile DK, cozy worsted yarn, you can get your favorite knitter a gift to cherish.
Hand-dyeing means uniqueness; two skeins are never the same. Each has personality and character. Get premium yarn fibers, so extra soft and cozy. Plus, you get the wide color palette - from classic shades to neon’s, pastels to variegated colorways and everything in between. And, the yarn skeins are often OEKO Tex 100 certified, tested against 350+ substances to ensure safety for use against the skin. Pair a few skeins and you’ve got a thoughtful, luxurious gift that any knitter will adore.
Patterns
Patterns are like maps to a journey and a knitter will love the challenge. A curated selection of knitting patterns can reignite their creative spark. The right pattern can turn a few skeins of yarn into a masterpiece and your gift into something truly personal. Pair a pattern with the gift of hand-dyed yarn skeins to double up the fun!

Repair Hooks + Wool Needles
