We have always stood by our belief that knitting is better with beautiful yarn, no matter if you’re a complete newbie or an old pro!

Learn To Knit Kit In All Colors | Purl Soho

Since its beginning, our Learn To Knit Kit has included two skeins of our own Super Soft Merino, the softest, cuddliest merino we know, because novice knitters may not know how to cast on, but they certainly know what feels good!

And now, for the first time, you get to pick your Learn To Knit Kit in any of our Super Soft Merino colors. There are almost three dozen to choose from, so just because it’s your very first knitting project, doesn’t mean you can’t express yourself. From Super Orange to Oatmeal Gray, pick the most you color!

And once you grasp the basics, you’ll cast on for your first scarf, choosing one of three stitch patterns: garter stitch, 1×1 rib, or seed stitch. Each is beautiful and challenging in its own way… You’ll see!

Learn To Knit Kit In All Colors | Purl Soho

For the second year in a row, we are so proud that New York Times Wirecutter has picked our Learn To Knit Kit as one of the best fiber craft kits for adults! Since 2003, we have turned thousands of people into lifelong knitters, and every bit of that experience went into creating our Learn To Knit Kit, from sharing our time-tested methods of teaching to choosing yarn we know beginners will love.

UPDATE: NEW LEARN TO KNIT A COWL KIT

SEPTEMBER 2024

Our new Learn To Knit A Cowl Kit is the sibling to our best-selling Learn To Knit Kit. You can start out as a true beginner with either kit, and both come in a charming pink tube packed with 2 skeins of Super Soft Merino, clear and thoughtful instructions, and everything else a new knitter needs. While our original Learn To Knit Kit shows you how to knit a scarf “flat” with straight knitting needles, the Learn To Knit A Cowl Kit teaches you to “knit in the round” on circular needles (and explains what that means!). In the end, new knitters will have a beautiful, soft, and squishy cowl that they will feel really proud of!

LEARN ABOUT SUPER SOFT MERINO + ALL OUR BEAUTIFUL YARNS

The best reason to use Super Soft Merino for this project is because it is the dreamiest, cuddliest, toastiest yarn you can imagine! A single ply of 100% merino wool, Super Soft Merino has a nice, loose spin that shows off the softness of its fiber and keeps it nice and lightweight. Its gauge ranges from a chunky/bulky-weight to super bulky-weight (2.75-3.25 stitches per inch), making it a great choice for quick (and beautiful!) hand-knit gifts. And more… Super Soft Merino comes in over 30 amazing colors, too!
