Gift ideas for knitters, crocheters and every other yarn lover
Finding the right gift for a knitter or crocheter is easier than it looks, even if you have never held a hook or a pair of needles yourself. The trick is to skip the gadgets (they already own three of everything) and give them something that says you see them and their yarn habit. That is exactly what our gift quiz does: tell us a little about the person you are shopping for, and we put together a shortlist of funny, proud, sweet or gloriously sweary designs to match. Choose from more than 800 yarn-themed designs on tees, hoodies, sweatshirts, mugs and tote bags, all from a small, independent, family-run shop.
Gift ideas for knitters
The best gifts for knitters are the ones that nod to the in-jokes only a knitter would get, like the stash that keeps growing, the second sock that never quite happens and the endless game of yarn chicken. Our gifts for knitters range is full of those, from punny classics such as Knit Happens and Knitwit to quietly proud designs like I Knit So I Don't Unravel. Pick a t-shirt for everyday wear, a hoodie for the chilly evenings spent on the sofa with a work in progress, or a mug for the coffee that always goes cold halfway through a row.
Gift ideas for crocheters
If the hooks are out and the granny squares are multiplying, our gifts for crocheters are the place to start. Crochet gets less of the spotlight than knitting, which is precisely why a design that actually says crochet makes such a thoughtful present. Think Crochet & Chaos, I Prefer Crochet and the all-time classic that crochet is cheaper than therapy (as long as you do not count the yarn). If you are not sure which craft they do, our gift quiz will ask, and there are plenty of designs that work for any yarn lover.
Gift ideas for spinners and weavers
Spinners and weavers are so often forgotten in gift guides, so we have made designs just for them, including Spinning, The Spin Doctor and Warped to Weave. They make a lovely surprise for anyone who works with fleece, spindles, wheels and looms rather than needles and hooks.
A gift for the yarn lover who has everything
When you really cannot decide, a mug or a tote bag is a lovely low-key present. Browse our mugs and tote bags for something that looks good on a craft shelf, or look through our funny and punny gifts if you want to make them laugh out loud. Still stuck? A Rhapsodye Yarns gift card lets them choose their own, and our sale is a handy place to find a little extra to make up a bundle of three.
Questions people ask about gifts for knitters and crocheters
What should I buy a crocheter or knitter for Christmas? Something that celebrates their craft rather than something that needs a pattern or tools. A funny tee, a snug hoodie or a mug with a joke they will recognise always goes down well.
What if I get the size wrong? No problem. If it does not fit, our free sizing exchange means we send the right size, and our quiz can point you to the size guide if you are not sure.
Do you ship worldwide? Yes. Every order is made to order and sent from the printing facility closest to you, so gifts can reach friends and family in the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and beyond.
Can I send a gift card instead? Of course. Our gift cards are the easy answer for the person who loves yarn more than any one design.
