Top Five Favourite Gifts This Season
Tis the season to support small and local business’s, and as such we wanted to share some of the best giftable products sold in LYS’s. 2020 has been a year, and this holiday season is the best time to treat your loved ones, whether that’s in person or from afar. Don’t forget your favourite making friend who you normally meet up with at stitches each year, treat the teacher in your life who has been learning to educate under a new norm, or treat yourself, because above all else… we deserve to receive what we want this holiday season.
While the following products are perfect to gift, don’t forget loose skeins of KPPPM available at most of our stockists.
Paint Cans
The Paint Can is great for a small gift, small project. With five Koigu Demi skeins of KPPPM, you get a lot of colour contrast in your project!. Some ways you can use the paint can after receiving it can include storage or food or craft supplies. However, one of our favourite suggestions include using the bucket as a ball holder, you can even drill a hole through the lid to run your yarn through! Some patterns for the paint can include the Ice Cube scarf and Ana Shawl.

2. Koigu Collector Colours
Each month for the last two years we’ve released a Collector Colourway, which will never be repeated. Only a small number of LYS’s choose to take part in each month, making the skeins extra special. What makes a better present, then something one of a kind. To see each of the past Collector Colours and where you can shop them visit our archived blog posts. This month we have a sparkle and a KPPPM colour, each differently inspired. Read the upcoming blog post to see where you can shop for it.
