Product Details

Skill Level - Beginner

This scarf is for ABSOLUTE beginners who want to learn new knitting skills every 20cm! It has turned out to be really popular with expert knitters seeking a relaxing knit with lots of variety. The knitting kit uses alpaca yarn from British and Irish farms. It uses single pointed needles and we can include lovely bamboo knitting needles.

Just like our other beginners' scarf (The Garter Scarf) you will learn to cast on, cast off, and how to use the Number 1 stitch used in Knitting, the knit stitch.

... Then you will go on to learn Purl, Ribbing, Moss St; AND three other stitch formations of knitting. By the end, and quite quickly, you will have learn more knitting techniques than many experienced knitters. And you will discover how easy they are.

For other styles and sizes check out our Sampler Collection 

All stitches are supported with our HOW-TO VIDEOS

Size: 20 x 160cm - or smaller to suit

Kit includes:

  • Cotton alpaca project bag
  • 250g (225m per 100g) Gorgeous DK yarn made from 75% alpaca/25% sheep's wool
  • Pattern for this, and the Vintage Beginners Scarf
  • Optional 4.5mm needles and tapestry needle

As with all Gorgeous alpaca DK kits, it's warm and cosy, but lightweight and breathes well. The alpaca yarn has a small amount of 100% natural sheep's wool blended in, which makes it easy to knit with, and still retains that wonderful alpaca softness. The scarf can be washed by hand or in a machine on a wool wash at 20 degrees.

I bought the kit and it came with 3 hat patterns so I made the cable hat. It has knitted up beautifully, so soft and a joy to knit with. Delivery is speedy too!

Random eyelet shawl kit

The yarn “split” constantly while knitting almost seemed to have been spun too loosely. Also one ball had 3 joining knots!!!
I have knitted several times with Alpaca yarn from a different company and never had a problem with yarn splitting.
I look forward to your comments

Hi Karen,

I hope we have solved this problem. When you gave your review you were not aware of our 100% guarantee and replacement policy. We sent out a replacement ball and I think you are happy now, but do let us know?

Thanks and apologies again,

Emma

So cute

This super soft yarn is a joy to knit up. I made the pair of wrist warmers in an evening, lots of yarn left over. Great product, great service and great finished garment. I would highly recommend.

Superb

This is possibly the best natural yarn I’ve ever used. It’s luxuriously soft and knits up like a dream.
The pattern was indeed restful, so easy but looks fabulous.
The kits were delivered in a couple of days and I love the little tote bags, I’m going to use one for gifting my knits!
Although it online it feels as though you get personal service.
There is plenty of yarn for the project.
