Looking for a creative Christmas gift? Buying for a friend maybe?

We often attend yarn shows where people can shop yarn, fabric and sewing accessories. Visitors enjoy looking at and often purchasing one of our weaving kits. Some may be familiar with weaving and already know they want to learn to weave. Others are keen knitters or crocheters with a large yarn stash which they recognise they could use on a loom. We often find that, like ourselves, people who like yarn crafts like doing a range of crafts with weaving just being another creative activity to explore and enjoy. If you are looking to purchase a Christmas gift for someone who you think would enjoy weaving then this blog details a selection of 8 kits to suit all budgets. Most kits are suitable for beginning weavers with a few kits available for those who have already gone down the fabulously fun rabbit hole. If after reading the blog you simply can't decide then why not consider a gift voucher so that they can choose their own gift.
