Before you buy

Shopping with The Knitting Network

Choosing yarn and patterns

The homepage lists a broad mix of knitting wool, patterns, needles and crochet hooks, so it suits both planned projects and quick top-ups. Yarn weight matters more than colour when you buy, so check the ply or weight shown on each listing against the pattern you are following before you add items to your basket. Chunky yarns such as King Cole Flair Solo Chunky work for faster projects, while DK weights like WoolBox Imagine Classic suit a wider range of garments.

Delivery costs to plan for

The help centre lists several UK options, including UK Economy Delivery and UK Standard Delivery, each with a stated working-day timeframe. Economy delivery becomes free on orders over a set spend, so bundling several skeins into one order can save money. An Unlimited Delivery Pass is also offered for UK customers as an annual alternative.

Overseas orders

Orders are shipped from the UK, so shoppers outside the country should expect delivery charges that are calculated at checkout. The help centre also notes that import duties or taxes may be charged on arrival in the destination country, and that US deliveries were temporarily suspended. Check these details before ordering from abroad.

Returns

UK customers can use a free returns service through Royal Mail, and items must be unused and in resalable condition for a refund. Include your order number, name and delivery address with the return, and keep proof of postage.
