Crochet Must Haves For People Who Love Yarn

Yarn, the soft, pliable, string that can be knitting and knotted and woven and crocheted into a warm sweater or pair of gloves, scarf, hat… I could go on and on.  It surrounds you in warmth and comfort.  For me, crocheting has also given me peace of mind when my life may be in turmoil. The counting and repetition allows me to find a deep focus and gives me a break from every day worries. In order to master the hobby I love, here are some items (a Christmas gift list my husband is welcome to look at) that you may want or may want to give to the crocheter you love:

Hooks:

Hooks give yarn workers the ability to weave and knot and knit.  Here are some of the best sets.  There are more options than you may think.

• Light Up Hooks that Count Stitches for you was one of the best inventions for yarn workers.  They are helpful and easy to use.  They do the counting for you.  And, they make it easier to see every stitch. It also comes with really helpful accessories, like stitch markers, tape measure, and yarn needles. This is a must have for any crocheter no matter their level of skill.

• A Tunisian Crochet Hook Set with Cables is for your skilled crocheter.  They are beautiful, sleek, and come in a faux leather book. This would be a real treat for any crocheter to receive.

• Simple and Classy Crochet Set for all occasions. It includes hooks that can be organized in order. It also includes ring makers, row counters, yarn needles, everything you need to get started or master your crochet skills.

Yarn:

Yarn, the soft, fuzzy stuff that you make magic with is something I like to see in stores and feel before I buy.  However, here are a couple of great yarn picks that you can click and purchase.

• Baby Soft Bamboo Cotton Yarn would be great for making baby blankets, hats, booties, and toys.

• Lion Brand Yarn Mandala Ombré Yarn is a great yarn for fun and colorful creations.  My favorite part is that you don’t have count for colors, it makes a creative design for you.

• I love recycled yarn!  I feel like I’m doing something good for the environment while making something beautiful.  Lion Brand Yarn Re-Spun Thick & Quick Yarn and Lion Brand Wool Ease Recycled Yarn are two great yards I have used and am using this season.

• Lion Brand 24/7 Light Weight Yarn is a new kind of yard that promotes cool temperature for those more warm-blooded people.

Bags:

Every crocheter and knitter needs a way to take their work with them. Here are a couple of bags for different situations:

• A Stylish, Durable Canvas Bag to take your hooks and yarn anywhere. It looks professional enough to take to work and has enough space to take one or two projects with you.

• The Big Travel Backpack is an easy way to carry on your yarn projects on a plain.  It has lots of pockets, a large place for yard, and USB charging port for your phone.

• The Round Yarn Storage Bag has a place to put your yarn in the middle and your accessories on the outside for easy access.

• The Professional Crochet Bag that looks like you could be taking it to a meeting with your boss.  It is elegant and is made of faux leather.  With two compartments for yarn and many organizational pockets and places for hooks and needles, you’ll be stylish and never too far away from your yarn work.

Accessories:

There are many crocheting accessories that are helpful for crocheters that are great luxuries.  Here are a few:

• Yarn Bowls are essential for a crocheter sitting in a comfy chair or moving around the house or working in the car.  I like wood and ceramic bowls.  It is nice to have a couple or a few for different rooms of your house and for traveling.

  • This cute Ceramic Cat Yarn Bowl is perfect for crocheting and makes a fun house accent.  For more of an earthy feel, this 6x4 Inch Ceramic Yarn Bowl will suit you perfectly.  Another option, this Nagina International Rosewood Crafted Wooden Yarn Storage Bowl with Carved Holes is beautiful, will not break and holds more than one skein or yarn.  For a one skein option, this lovely Knit Picks Yarn Bowl is stylish and functional. 

• Yarn Winders or Holder are an unique item that can be super helpful for certain crochet settings.  There are:

  • Single Skein Yarn Holders

  • Double Skein Yarn Holders

  • Portable Wrist Yarn Holders

Yarn Boards are helpful for keeping squares and straight and orderly. This iHansee 11" Crochet Blocking Board is big enough for multiple squares are circles with lots of accessories.

I hope that this helped you find good products for your crocheting endeavors and gifts.
