Whatcha Really Really Want

    
December 10, 2019

• Ball Winder and Swift! This is the #1 top gift! For the yarny person, this enables them to get going on their project faster. For the non-yarny relative, this means you don't have to have yarn wrapped around your arms while they wind it. Price range for the combo: $95 (most home users)-$450 (heavy duty)
• Interchangeable Needle Set. Available for knitting needles or tunisian (afghan) crochet. Look first and see if they are using wood or metal needles. If you can, "borrow" a needle so we can see what brand they like. Prices range from $50-250
• Needle/Hook cases. Help get your yarn-lover organized! Most are around $20
• Yarn Bowls. Keep their yarn from rolling all over the floor AND decorate! We have everything from Fandom designs, to elegant handmade yarn bowls. Prices Range from $20-70
• Mugs/Tshirts/Slippers. Let them eat, drink, and wear their love for yarn! Prices from $15-35
• BAGS! Knitters and crocheters are ALL bag-ladies (and gents)! Priced from $10 up
• Jewelry. Shawl pins, earrings made from knitting needles, bracelets that are actually rulers, and rings that can help keep track of rows, your yarner will love these! $10-30
• AND MORE! Stitch markers, ornaments, hand lotions, cute scissors - all these are super gifts!
• None of these ideas work? That's okay, they'll LOVE a Yarnivore Gift Card! Available online in amounts from $10-100, or in-store for any amount!

The Tip Jar

Need BRIGHT light for a few stitches? Use your phone! The LED flashlight on most phones is really bright and really color-balanced. If someone's there willing to hold it just there, that works well, but otherwise, you can get phone stands and holders that will hold the light just where you need it.
