KnitPicks: my picks & discount tips
I’ve enjoyed using KnitPicks yarns for many years – they have lots of varieties and colours to choose from, from basic acrylics to fancy bases like merino and alpaca at reasonable prices. I made all the projects in Everyday Crochet with KP yarns and they all turned out beautifully:
A selection of my book patterns; pretty yarns make pretty projects!
So I wanted to let you know that KnitPicks is having an amazing sale on yarn right now, with up to 60% off and some balls as low as $2! I’ve just stocked up on enough to make a few new sweaters for the winter. And, if that’s not enough, I have bonus coupon codes for you to make the deals even better.
I always like to stack discounts wherever I can to get the best possible deals, so read on for my top tips for saving money with a KnitPicks order, and my recommended tools to buy:
Free Shipping
KnitPicks offers free shipping over $75 USD (US/CA), £85 (UK), $120 AUD (AU) if you want to replenish your stash or stock up on tools. If your shopping cart is anywhere near those totals, try adding a couple more balls of yarn or a tool or two to push it over the limit, and the extra cost will be partially or totally offset by the shipping savings.
I took complete advantage of this: I was at $65 + $10 shipping, so I added $10 more yarn, still paid $75 total, and got 5 extra balls of yarn for no extra cost!
Bonus Coupon Codes
These are the best current offers – you can stack one of these with this sale:
- If you’re buying lots of yarn from the same line: buy 10+ of any single yarn line (you can mix colours) and save 10% with code MYYARNPACK
- If you want to try knitting for the first time, or try some new needles: spend $65+ and and get a free Try It Needle Set with code TRY2024
I used the second code: I’d save $5 on my yarn with the 10% code, but the needle set is worth $15 and I want to try their steel and birch needle tips and get some extra cables, so that was a better deal for me.
My Favourite Tools
I have a few favourite tools from KnitPicks that I use all the time, so I’ve made a page that links directly to each of them.
If you’d like to see my recommendations, or are looking for a little something to push you over that free shipping limit, here are
My Recommended KnitPicks Tools >>
I think we could all use a way to make our dollars stretch a bit further these days, and I can’t wait for my haul of bargains to arrive! In case you’re wondering, here’s my shopping list (I can’t use wool, so I’ve had to miss out on some other lovely-looking yarns):
- I’ve stocked up on Brava Recycle – it’s a recycled acrylic yarn in lovely heathered neutral colours, and at $2 a ball I’ve bought enough to make several sweaters with it.
- I grabbed a ball of Brava 500 – that’s 500g of yarn in a single ball, and some colours are reduced to $6! I should be able to make an entire sweater from a ball, so that’ll be a $6 sweater – wow!
- And I restocked on my favourite no-rinse wash, Soak. I’ve been using this for well over a decade, to wash all my handknits and delicates, and even to soak the grime off pet collars and purses. It works like magic!
