Wool and the Gang knitting kits
It takes a talented team to reinvent knitting from a grandmother’s pastime to a fashionable concept, but Wool and the Gang have done just that.
The skillful designers behind the Paris-based knitting revolution have made the traditional hobby a modern-day glamorous trend! Offering top quality Peruvian wool and two wooden knitting needles in an innovative presentation bag, every kit also contains do-it-yourself instructions for creating a selection of basic pieces such as gloves, scarves, leg warmers, hats and waistcoats in a variety of different colors and finishes. Whether you’re looking to pick up a new hobby over the summer (and create some one-of-a-kind accessories in the meantime) or need a unique gift for a fashion-forward friend, Wool and the Gang’s knitting kits are sure to bring hours of fun and pleasure.
Wool and the Gang Lula Hoop scarf kit, $85 or £82, ships internationally from Net-a-Porter.
