About

Skein Sisters

We take our own patterns and turn the loveliest of them into kits – with the right yarn, in the right amount, all ready to go. No working out how many balls you need, no hunting for a shade that works. It's all sorted, so you can cast on the moment it arrives.

Each kit brings together the yarn and the pattern (which we'll usually send to you digitally), and sometimes a handy notion or two – a darning needle to sew in your ends, that sort of thing. Everything you need in one place.

They're gentle enough for someone just starting out, which makes them a genuinely lovely gift. If you know someone taking their first steps in knitting or crochet, this is a beautiful way to set them up – everything they need, and nothing to puzzle over.
