Swap It
We’re so excited to bring more ways for you to connect, create, and be part of something special. Throughout the year, we’ll be hosting a series of fun swaps where you can make something by hand and receive something just as special in return. It’s a lovely way to share your craft, connect with other makers, and experience the joy of receiving something handmade just for you. More details on upcoming swaps will be shared soon, make sure you're subscribed to our mailing list or following us on instagram to be the first to know, we can’t wait to have you join us.
One Skein Wonder Swap
Let's be honest... we've all got one.
That gorgeous single skein you absolutely had to buy because it was just too pretty to leave behind... and now it's been sitting in your stash waiting for the "perfect" project.
Well, this is it!
Our One Skein Wonder Swap is all about giving those lonely little skeins their chance to shine by turning them into something beautiful for another maker.
So, what's the swap?
You'll be paired with another maker and create a handmade gift using just one skein of yarn.
It could be something cosy, something practical or something completely unexpected. The only rule is that your project uses just a single skein.
Then you'll pop it in the post and wait for your little handmade surprise to arrive from your swap partner.
How it works
- Sign up using the link below.
- We'll pair you with another maker.
- Chat about favourite colours, fibres and any preferences.
- Pick that special skein from your stash.
- Cast on and enjoy the process.
- Pop your finished project in the post and get excited for happy mail!
What can I make?
Whatever your imagination comes up with!
Some ideas include:
- Fingerless mitts
- A beanie
- A cowl
- A shawlette
- A tea cosy
- Coasters
- Socks
- Soft toys
- Or any other one-skein project you've been wanting to try.
Why one skein?
Because single skeins deserve some love too.
Instead of waiting for the "right day", let's turn those beautiful stash treasures into something that will make another maker smile. It's a brilliant excuse to shop your own stash and finally use that skein you've been saving for something special.
Who's it for?
Anyone who loves making.
Whether you knit or crochet, whether you've been crafting for years or you've only just started, we'd love to have you join us.
One last thing...
Your project doesn't need to be fancy.
It doesn't need to be intricate, award-winning or absolutely perfect.
What makes handmade gifts special isn't flawless stitches, it's the thought behind them. It's knowing someone spent time choosing a pattern, picking up their needles or hook, and making something just for you.
That's what this swap is all about.
So have a rummage through your stash, find that skein that's been patiently waiting for its moment, and let's turn it into something wonderful for another maker.
We can't wait to see what you create. 💜
Sock Swap – Now Closed
There’s something extra special about a handmade pair of socks.
They’re cosy, practical, and feel like a little hug every time you wear them. And when they’re made just for you by another maker? Even better.
Our Sock Swap is your chance to create a pair for someone else… and receive a pair made just for you!
What is the sock swap?
This is a community swap just for makers, where you’ll be paired with another maker and exchange a handmade pair of socks.
It’s thoughtful, a little bit indulgent, and such a lovely way to connect with another maker.
How it works
- Register via the link below
- Get matched with another maker
- Chat with your partner about sizing, colours, and preferences
- Spend a few weeks creating your socks
- Post your pair and enjoy receiving yours
What you’ll make
- One handmade pair of socks
- Made with care, and with your partner in mind
You’re welcome to include little extras if you’d like, but it’s completely optional.
Who is this for?
This swap is perfect for:
- Sock makers of all skill levels
- Anyone who loves slow, thoughtful making
- Makers who want to give something special and experience the joy of receiving something special too
A gentle note
Your socks don’t need to be perfect.
Simple and thoughtful is more than enough. This is about connection, not comparison.
This is all about sharing handmade love, NOT about creating a flawless pair of socks. Please don’t let worries about “being good enough” stop you from joining in. We definitely don't expect perfect stitches or expert-level technique. It’s about the kindness behind making something by hand for another maker, the time, care, thought, and love stitched into every pair. Handmade socks don’t need to be perfect to be deeply special, and we hope this feels like a warm, welcoming place for every kind of maker, wherever you are in your knitting or crochet journey.
We'd love you to join us!
Winter Warmers Swap - NOW Closed
There’s something deeply special about making something by hand and gifting it to someone else. As makers, we do it all the time, carefully creating beautiful pieces for the people we love.
But how often do we receive something handmade, created just for us?
The Winter Warmers Swap is your chance to experience that.
Where we’re at
Our current swap is now underway, and makers are busy creating their pieces.
What is the swap?
This is a community-based handmade swap where you’ll be paired with another participant and exchange a small handmade item.
Think cosy, thoughtful, and made with care. Shawls, scarves, beanies, mitts, or sock to name just a few.
We previously ran this swap and it was such a beautiful success, with thoughtful makes, meaningful exchanges, and genuine connections formed between makers.
How it works
- Sign up using our form registration
- You’ll be matched with another maker
- Contact your partner to introduce yourself and exchange details
- Spend 4 weeks creating your handmade item
- Post your swap to your partner and enjoy receiving yours
What you’ll make
You’ll create:
- A small handmade item (knit, crochet, or other yarn craft)
- Something made with care, intention, and your partner in mind
You’re also welcome to include extra little treats if you’d like, but this is completely optional.
A note on community
This swap is built on kindness, generosity, and respect for one another’s time and effort.
Please only sign up if you can commit to completing your handmade item within the 4-week timeframe.
