Needle and Hook Sets:
For the knitter or crocheter in your life, a set of premium-quality knitting needles or crochet hooks makes an exceptional gift. Our KnitPro sets are perfect for crafters at any stage of their journey.

Each one comes beautifully presented in a handy storage case, combining functionality with style - a thoughtful gift they'll appreciate for years to come.
Storage for Knitting and Crochet Tools:
Help the crafter in your life bring order to their growing collection of tools with practical yet elegant storage solutions. Our KnitPro and Geo-Metry storage solutions are ideal gifts for organising knitting needles and accessories. We offer cases tailored for fixed circular and interchangeable needles, as well as compact notions pouches for smaller essentials such as stitch markers, row counters, cable needles, and thread snips. These beautifully designed organisers combine practicality with style, ensuring that every tool has its place—a gift that any knitter or crocheter will truly appreciate.
Project Bags for Knitters and Crocheters:
A high-quality project bag is essential for keeping your knitting or crochet projects organised and safe. Our collection features stylish and functional options from Geo-Metry, offering modern, minimalist designs; and Janet Friel Designs, handcrafted with attention to detail and practicality. For a versatile option, look at Notabag, known for their innovative designs that easily transform between tote and backpack. Whether you're after bold styles or thoughtful handmade craftsmanship, these bags provide a perfect storage solution for your creative projects.
Ball Winding Tools:
Effortlessly transforming your yarn into neat, manageable balls is easy with our range of ball winding tools and we have the perfect solution for any knitter or crocheter. Mechanised ball winders offer a convenient and quick way to ball up your hanks/skeins of yarn, especially when paired with an umbrella swift from KnitPro. If you prefer hand-winding, which offers a more portable option and a slower, more relaxing experience you may prefer our Geo-metry yarn turtles or a KnitPro Nostepinne.
KnitPro Magnetic Chart Keeper:
For knitters and crocheters who enjoy working on detailed patterns, the KnitPro Magnetic Chart Keeper is an invaluable tool. This clever accessory keeps charts and patterns firmly in place while they work, using strong magnets to hold everything securely. Its stand-up design ensures the pattern is always easy to see, whether on a table or lap, making it especially useful for intricate lace or colourwork projects. Compact and portable, this chart keeper is a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves to stay organised while tackling their next masterpiece.
Blocking and Finishing Tools:
For knitters and crocheters, blocking is essential for achieving a polished, professional finish. Our range of blocking and finishing equipment includes everything needed to perfect handmade projects. From Eucalan wool soak for gentle fibre care to KnitPro blocking mats, Knools blocking wire set, knit blockers and T-pins for precision shaping, these tools make a big difference. For sock enthusiasts, our Kremke Soul Wool sock blockers are a fantastic addition, helping to shape and showcase socks beautifully. Thoughtful and practical, these gifts will be treasured by anyone who wants their hard work to shine. Additionally, tools such as the Knools needle gauge and tension ruler, sewing up needles, tape measures, and thread snips ensure every detail is beautifully crafted throughout your project ensuring the best finish.
