We have recently added a section on our website where you can see and pick your Knitting Patterns here at Calico Laine. As it is now the time to start thinking about the colder temperature and wrapping up warm, we can bring the knitting needles out! Knitting garments to send for gifts is a lovely touch where you can hand pick your designs and colours so they are just perfect! We have many different patterns to choose from including patterns for babies and children and men and women so you could knit for the whole family! One of my personal favourites which knits up really nice is the 'Stylecraft Knitting Pattern- 8542' It is quite a simple pattern which knits up quickly as it is knitted up using a Chunky Wool. I used the Life Chunky which has 25% wool and is an excellent price! It has a simple yet effective zig zag design which looks wonderful in a contrasting colour. I used the Cardinal Red with a Cream background which is also ideal for Christmas! The great thing about this knitting pattern is that it will not only keep you warm, it is an alternative to wearing a big coat, it is also pretty long and had as lovely matching tie to bring the whole design together! We have many other patterns to choose from so come and have a look around at our wonderful selection! We stock a great choice of different Wool such as Double Knitting, Aran, Chunky and Baby Wool so you have everything you need! We also have Knitting Needles and Knitting Accessories so come and have a look around! If you need any help regarding any of our products please do get in touch, we are more than happy to help!  Also you can inspire others using our Facebook and Twitter pages and keep[ up to date with any offers or new products that we have coming in!!
