When The Packaging Says It All

I am a sucker for clever packaging. I think we all are. When it comes to holiday gifting, I know that I am more likely to pick up the items that are cleverly presented because it makes the gift making that much easier on me! Just in time for the holidays, we are restocked on these clever crochet kits from England. If you are hoping to pick up a new craft for the new year or want to give the gift of a new stress-relieving hobby, these are a great option that is uniquely packed up in an adorable tin.

These canned crochet kits come with everything included to make up to three beans, peas or doughnuts. AND they are great for total beginners or even for someone who has done some crochet. (Even our experienced crochet instructor has grabbed these kits!) The best part about these kits is that they contain all natural fibre. The yarn is a gorgeous soft Merino. 

They’ve included the hook, darning needle, threads for the face and even plant based stuffing. If the written instructions aren’t enough, Toft has great video tutorials on their website too. While nothing can replace an in person learning experience, we think these kits are a pretty neat way to learn to crochet. Just throw a bow on top, and it’s ready for gifting!

Danielle, owner of the fibre space shop, has been knitting since the age of six or so, when she completed her first project – a Cabbage Patch doll scarf. A Pittsburgh native with a degree in international development, she moved to the D.C. area to find a job and quickly established a career in non profit management and fundraising. For extra cash, she decided to turn her hobby into a job and taught knitting classes in the evening at area shops. With a heavy dose of sarcasm and a tough love style of teaching, Danielle quickly developed a following of students – busy D.C. professionals looking for a creative outlet. In October 2006, she struck out on her own with Knit-a-Gogo, Inc. – offering knitting classes and events all over the D.C. metro area.  Before she knew it, Knit-a-Gogo had grown out of control and Danielle moved to the next natural step – a full service yarn shop. In July 2009 fibre space was born and has been rockin’ ever since. When she isn’t behind the scenes with a mocha in hand, Danielle is hanging with her daughter or lobbying for small business needs at City Hall.
