It’s time for another Knit-A-Long, and this one is all about turning up the volume on creativity. Introducing the Mixtape KAL - a celebration of mixing yarns, blending textures, and building your own one-of-a-kind fabrics.
Just like the perfect mixtape, this KAL is about experimenting, layering, and expressing your style. Whether you want to combine leftovers from your stash, pair unexpected yarns together, or try a brand-new blend, this is your chance to play. From cosy accessories to expressive swatches that evolve into full projects, the possibilities are truly endless.
We love a KAL with options, and Mixtape is full of them - choose any project that lets you explore yarn combinations, colour play, and fabric design. Go subtle and sophisticated or bold and adventurous; it’s entirely up to you.
To get you started, we’ve put together a selection of ideas below but as always, you’re free to choose anything that lets you mix it up and make it your own.
Perfect Patterns for Mixing:
Jilli Jam, Selene Sweater, Spot Sweater, Jilli Jacket - all by Anne Ventzel
Cumulus Blouse, Louisiana Sweater, Stockholm Slipover, Sophie Hood - all by Petitknit
Inge Sweater, Rosie Yoke Blouse, Foundation Cardigan - all by LeKnit

How it works:
When you sign-up for the KAL you will receive a code worth £95 to use on our website or in-store. You can use the code to stock up on yarn or tools you might need for the KAL or save it for a rainy day if you're planning to use stash yarn for this KAL. The code is redeemable through Saturday 7. November 2026
We will kick off with a Zoom on Monday 7. September 2026 from 8-9pm. We'll continue with Zoom meet-ups on Mondays throughout the KAL so we can all show off our WIPs and give you all the support you might need along the way. All details will be sent out once you've signed up to the KAL with us.
