With Christmas fast approaching, finding the right gift for a knitting enthusiast isn't always easy... but rest assured, whether it's for a special occasion or just for the pleasure of giving, there are plenty of original and useful ideas to make every knitter's eyes light up. Discover our 6 must-have knitting gift ideas for yarn and wool addicts!
If you are unsure between several gift ideas or are afraid of making the wrong choice, a gift card gives your knitting enthusiast loved one the freedom to choose the pattern book, knitting kit, balls of wool or knitting needles that they really need and want.
At La Lainière de Wazemmes, we offer physical gift cards that you can purchase in our shop in Lille. We also have e-gift cards available online on our website. The person to whom you give the gift card or e-gift card can spend their available balance in our shop in Lille, at 7 rue Jules Guesde, and/or online on our website.
Gift cards are and will always be an excellent personalised gift for all special occasions such as Christmas, birthdays and Mother's Day. And at least there's no risk of getting it wrong!
There's nothing like a knitting kit to delight a knitting enthusiast. The knitting kit can include one or more pairs of knitting needles, accessories (wool sewing needles, stitch markers, etc.) and a pattern or model with step-by-step instructions to guide you through the knitting process.
At La Lainière de Wazemmes, we offer knitting kits for making clothing and accessories such as a pair of mittens, a jumper, a hat, a scarf, a snood, a shawl, a blanket or even a baby cardigan.
The knitting kit is a gift idea that will suit both beginner knitters and experts alike. And if you're looking for something for a crochet fan, check out our crochet kits too!
A sewing bag, a needle storage pouch... these are much more than just knitting accessories! They are essential items that are both elegant in design and, above all, practical for organising your sewing supplies and carrying your knitting projects.
Some cases and storage bags are compartmentalised, with zipped or buttoned pockets and holes for threading the yarn of your current knitting project, while others are simpler but just as effective, practical and stylish.

And yes, when you knit, you can never have too much equipment! Knitting needles are the basics, yet there are thousands of different types, materials, sizes and qualities available. In short, if you're feeling a little lost, take a look at our article on how to choose the right knitting needles.
For knitting for long hours without pain, ergonomic knitting needles made of lightweight plastic with a comfortable silicone handle are often a safe bet. They offer good value for money and are available in all needle sizes. Some knitters prefer metal knitting needles or bamboo needles – it's all a matter of habit, comfort and taste!
At La Lainière de Wazemmes, we offer a wide range of straight knitting needles, as well as circular needles, in all sizes and materials such as aluminium, plastic, wood, bamboo, and more. We have selected the Knit Pro and Prym brands to offer you these high-quality knitting accessories.
A pair of knitting needles is a wonderful and inexpensive knitting gift idea that will delight your loved one who enjoys knitting.
If you are familiar with the tastes and knitting techniques of the person you wish to give this gift to, offering high-end wool such as Alpaca, Pure Merino or Cotton is a thoughtful and inspiring gesture for the recipient. The prices of balls of wool vary depending on the brand and quality of the fibres, but a few beautiful strands are often enough to spark a unique creative project.
At La Lainière de Wazemmes, we offer a wide range of balls of yarn in high-quality materials at reasonable prices, as well as synthetic materials, because there is something for everyone and every budget!

Books and catalogues of knitting and crochet patterns are real gold mines when creative inspiration is lacking. They contain patterns for knitting accessories such as socks, garments such as jumpers and cardigans, bags, decorative items, and more.
However, it is important to choose a book or catalogue based on the tastes and skill level of the knitter you are giving it to. Often, the skill level required to knit the projects is indicated on physical books or online product pages.
In short, as you can see, there is no shortage of knitting gift ideas to delight a passionate knitter. So, whether you opt for a gift card, a pattern book, a complete knitting kit, a bag, a storage pouch, balls of wool or even accessories, your gift is sure to be appreciated if you choose it with pleasure and conviction.
