Knitting and Needlecraft FAQ

What’s included in the Knitting and Needlecraft collection?

Our Knitting and Needlecraft collection brings together the essentials for stitching projects, including yarn, embroidery floss, and knitting needles. If you want to dive deeper by category, you can also browse our dedicated Yarn collection, shop specific embroidery floss colours, or filter for knitting needles to match your pattern.

How do I choose the right yarn for my knitting project?

Start with your pattern’s recommended yarn weight and fibre, then think about the feel you want (soft, sturdy, washable) and the stitch definition your project needs. You can compare options in the Yarn collection and then grab everything else you need from the Knitting and Needlecraft collection so your yarn, needles, and finishing supplies are all in one place.

How do I pick the correct knitting needle size?

Most patterns list a needle size (often in mm) and a gauge, and your yarn label usually suggests a needle range to get you close. If you’re unsure, choose the size that matches your pattern first, then adjust after a quick gauge swatch. Browse needle options here: knitting needles, and pair them with your project yarn from the Knitting and Needlecraft collection or the broader Yarn collection.

Do you carry embroidery floss, and what should I look for?

Yes, you can shop embroidery floss at Art Noise, great for embroidery, mending, hand lettering details, and small textile embellishments. If you want an easier start, consider a complete set from Embroidery Kits, and you can always return to the Knitting and Needlecraft collection to add extra colours, needles, or tools.

What else do I need to start embroidery besides floss?

Beyond floss, most beginners find it easiest with an embroidery hoop to keep fabric taut, an appropriate hand sewing or embroidery needle, and a simple pattern. You can start with embroidery hoops and hand sewing needles, then pull everything together from the Knitting and Needlecraft collection for a smooth first project.

Do you have beginner friendly needlecraft kits?

Absolutely, kits are a great way to learn without overthinking the supply list. Check out our DIY Kits and the more specific Embroidery Kits, then top up with extra floss, needles, or yarn anytime from the Knitting and Needlecraft collection.

Do you sell crochet hooks or felting tools too?

Yes, if your project crosses into other fibre crafts, you can filter for crochet hooks and explore felting needles and tools as well. For a broader browse (including fun small-project supplies), our Craft & Hobby collection pairs nicely with the core Knitting and Needlecraft collection.
