Knitting and Sewing

Sometimes being creative can be combined with relaxing and mindfulness. Two of the best ways to do this are through knitting and sewing. As an added bonus, you also get to create something you can use every day. In order to start knitting or sewing, you need the tools to get started. At Flying Tiger Copenhagen, we have everything you need to get started on your creative knitting or sewing journey. From simple tools for a beginner knitter, to more complex tools like sewing kits.

If you're a beginner knitter, some good knitting needles are all you really need to get started. The most common ones are called straight needles. These needles are ideal for beginners and are good because they don't have a sharp point that could hurt you. They come in different sizes and usually in sets of three or four.

Start by knitting something you need

Knitting gives you a great opportunity to make something that you can use every day. You can knit a scarf, hat or maybe even a sweater for yourself. But you can also knit something to give as a gift to someone you love.

At Flying Tiger Copenhagen, it's time to get your hands on some yarn and start knitting what you need. If you're a beginner knitter, we recommend you start with two different coloured yarns. One light-coloured yarn and one dark-coloured yarn. Use the light-coloured one mainly for knitting stitches like garter stitch or stockinette stitch, while the dark-coloured one can be used for all kinds of things, including potential mistakes.

Knitting needles in all shapes and sizes

In addition to knitting yarn, you'll also need to have knitting needles in order to get started. It's important for a beginner knitter to get the right set of needles to suit their needs. If you're a beginner knitter and want to start with simple patterns that don't require many stitches at once, then we recommend you choose a set of straight knitting needles. We have a variety of sets for beginners as well as for more experienced knitters.

In addition to knitting needles, you can also find other tools for knitting, like a crochet hook. This is a special tool that you can use to weave in the ends of your knitting. It comes in different shapes and sizes. But it's important to remember that every type of yarn for knitting has a recommended crochet hook size.

In addition to knitting needles and crochet hooks, you can also find some other classic tools for knitting in our range.

Sewing can expand the life of your clothes

Anyone can get a hole in their trousers or shirts sometimes. But with a few basic skills and a sewing kit, you can fix it yourself and extend the life of your clothes.

If you're a beginner, you should get yourself a basic sewing kit. It's important that it includes at least one needle so you can start your sewing adventures. At Flying Tiger Copenhagen, we have a large selection of different kinds of needles and sewing kits. We recommend you go shopping and choose the one that suits your needs the best.
