1 awesome knitting gift for beginner knitters
Pure cosiness in a flash!
Knit this cosy shawl sideways on straight needles. Afterwards, simply thread the co-ordinating ribbon through and create tassels at the points.
We chose a buttery-soft, chunky baby alpaca yarn and large knitting needles to ensure this project flies off your needles. The easy pattern perfectly suits beginners who know the basics, or experienced knitters wanting a quick, gorgeous project.
Our complete kit includes 200g of chunky baby alpaca, the co-ordinating hand-dyed recycled ribbon, and the printed pattern.
One of my lovely customers bought this kit at a local yarn show, telling me that she had just got the hang of the knit and purl stitches. Just a couple of days later she sent me a picture of herself proudly wearing the shawl, enthusing about how much she had enjoyed knitting it!

How are the kits packaged?
All of these kits are available with two packaging options. Your best choice depends on whether the kit is for yourself or if you intend to give it as a gift. The packaging choice impacts on the materials used and the shipping cost of the parcel.
No packaging
The yarn will be wound flat in the mailing box on top of the printed pattern.
This is the most cost-effective way to ship the kit via Royal Mail as it can generally be sent at Large Letter rates. This option also minimises waste as it has no additional packaging.
This is the most cost-effective choice if you’ll be making the kit yourself.
Gift box
This simple packaging is ready to wrap and gift to the recipient. It is used for all kits containing one skein of yarn for the project.
The box is fully recyclable. It contains the skein of yarn with a folded copy of the printed pattern and a kit contents card.
Organza bag
This drawstring bag packaging is ready to wrap and gift to the recipient. The bag is used for kits containing two or more skeins of yarn, which would not fit into a gift box.
The bag is not recyclable but can be reused many times as a project bag. It contains the yarn skeins with a folded copy of the printed pattern and a kit contents card.
Not sure which kit would be suitable, or looking for a stocking filler?
No problem – just buy a Perran Yarns Gift Certificate!
Gift certificates are available for amounts from £10 upwards, and are valid for up to 12 months. They make a delightful gift for a knitter as they can choose exactly what they like best!
You may be wondering how a gift certificate would work. It’s really easy:
When you purchase I’ll create a certificate with your specific code. You can choose email or postal delivery, either to you or direct to the recipient.
The recipient can purchase as normal from my online shop and enter the code from the certificate at checkout to make the purchase.
If they want to purchase more than the certificate amount they can pay the outstanding amount at checkout.
If they purchase less than the certificate amount, after ordering I’ll send them a new code for the remaining balance.
Easy!
