If you crochet or knit, you know that yarny stuff is always on your mind. And even more so when it’s your birthday, or it’s Christmas or holiday season, Mother’s Day, or any other gift-giving occasion.
How many times have you wished to unbox the perfect crochet or knit gadget to add to your craft collection? But well, you’re still waiting, aren’t you?
The thing is our family and friends might not know where to start looking for that perfect gift!
That’s why I decided to put together this useful list of crocheting and knitting gadgets that are perfect for us yarn lovers.
Feel free to look around and why not share it with a family member or friend? Just so that they know… Let’s say, just for their information! 😉
Let’s start!

1. Yarn, Of Course!
Yarn is the easiest way to make a crocheter or knitter happy!
However, it can be difficult to choose the right yarn for a picky crafter. But don’t get discouraged! There are two easy things you can do to gift yarn without actually having to choose any.
- Buy a gift card!
Gift cards are great, they’re like a day of awesome shopping! Two of my favorite places to buy gift cards are Lion Brand Yarn and KnitPicks.
- Get a yarn subscription service, like for example KnitCrate.
A yarn box subscriber will receive some surprise box every month directly at home. Besides some beautiful yarn, the box can also come with some knitting needles, or a crochet hook, and a knit and crochet pattern.
It is literally a dream for any crocheter and knitter!
There are many subscription boxes around in different price ranges. KnitCrate is fairly cheap, has got an awesome selection of yarns, and you get to choose your favorite color palette!
2. Canvas Project and Notions Bags
If you know crafters enough, you know that they bring their yarn ALWAYS with them! That’s why canvas project bags are essential to safely carry yarn around without getting it dirty, stuck in zippers, and so on.
And in case you are worried that your favorite crafter already has one of these, don’t worry. There are never enough of these bags. After all, each work-in-progress (WIP) deserves its own project bag!
Here are some very cute ones that I found on Etsy:
- Small WIP Bag – on Etsy
- “Knit Happens” Project Bag – on Etsy
- “I Just Wanna Save the World and Crochet” Canvas Bag – on Etsy
And as an extra, look how cute is this Create Notions Bag by LiLiKnits!
3. Yarn Bowls
When I started crocheting, I used to keep my ball of yarn in my breakfast bowls and mugs! So, let me tell you, crafters need a proper yarn bowl!
There are so many around that it is difficult to choose, but here are some of the best ones I found:
