Hello!  Michelle here, founder and creative behind The Woven Co
Welcome to my woolly world, I hope you find something to make your hands busy and your heart happy 🙂

The Woven Co makes NZ’s best knitting yarns and knitting kits… I know big claim right?  But once you’ve had these incredible fibres in your hands and on your needles, I think you might just agree!

This small but mighty business is 100% locally NZ made, founded on love and ethics, from the farm to the finished yarns.

Welcome to Knitting – A Guide For Beginners

Let us help guide you on your journey learning to knit – whether this is a return after many years, or a new journey, we are delighted to help.

My most commonly asked question for new knitters, is “Where to Start?”
Read my guide here…

Learning anything new will go differently for different people, but it is fair to expect your first piece to grow slowly, have some impromptu holes and gain extra stitches.  This is completely normal for new knitters.  I like the idea that you will only ever have one FIRST ever piece, and that piece will show your knitting journey from cast on to cast off.  You will see your progress in this piece and it will never look like anyone else’s!  Embrace the learning marks, plus holes in your knitting and straggles of wool are very on trend 🙂

And don’t forget to check out the FREE PATTERNS!  Great options for beginners in there.
