The Knitting Network

What to know about shopping at The Knitting Network

The Knitting Network is a UK online retailer based in Sittingbourne specialising in yarn, knitting patterns, crochet supplies, needles, hooks, and accessories. The brand range covers Emu (their flagship exclusive line), King Cole, Sirdar, Rowan, Scheepjes, Stylecraft, James C. Brett, West Yorkshire Spinners, and Papatya — spanning budget acrylic through to premium wool, alpaca, cashmere, and silk blends. Yarn weights run from 2-ply lace through to super chunky.

Free Royal Mail delivery applies on orders over £35, with same-day despatch available on orders placed before 4pm Monday to Friday. The store has built up over 60,000 Trustpilot reviews, which gives some indication of order volume and customer satisfaction. A 10% off welcome code is available for first-time buyers who sign up to the newsletter.

Seasonal demand peaks in autumn and winter when knitting projects ramp up — this is when the widest range of new-season colourways and patterns becomes available. Post-Christmas and January sales tend to bring the deepest clearance discounts on outgoing stock and discontinued colourways. Summer is quieter for knitting but a strong period for cotton and bamboo yarns used in lighter-weight crochet projects.

Before ordering yarn online, check the recommended yarn weight and yardage on your pattern, then buy enough for the full project in one batch — dye lots vary between production runs, and mismatched shades are visible in a finished garment. The Knitting Network stocks colour packs and value bundles that can reduce per-ball costs on multi-colour projects.
