I really enjoy crocheting. I find it a relaxing and soothing way to be creative. I have made a couple of blankets that I’ve always given away as gifts. And that’s one thing about a crochet lover; they love to give their projects away as gifts! I have received three blankets as gifts, and I treasure every one of them because I know how much effort has gone into making them.

On a side note, if you come to my house, please don’t start looking in my cupboards because you will find yarn stashed everywhere! When my husband gets in the mood to organize things around the house, I always wonder how long it will be until he finds a random stash. Trust me; it’s never a long time!

I hope you find the perfect crochet present within the following list of gift ideas.

As a lover of yarns and crochet gifts myself, I’m here to help you out today with the following list of best gifts you can give the yarn lover in your life. If you have a family member who enjoys making crochet items, you’ll hopefully find the perfect gift idea here!

Yarn bowl

I definitely have a yarn bowl on my want list! I love them as they are super useful, and they also look fantastic. If your crochet friend doesn’t like this as a gift, I don’t know what would make them happy! This is a great gift idea as your ball of yarn will stay put! Honestly, I found it hard to choose which one to display here because they are all so beautiful. I’ll add two different types and I’ll leave the tough decision up to you to decide on which one you get!

A yarn bowl will help keep your wool organised and untangled while crocheting. It also helps to keep yarn clean. Additionally, it looks great while your project is in progress. To use a yarn bowl, simply thread the wool into the groove and start your project.

Yarn winder

Ok, so moving on from bags… and onto a yarn ball winder. A winder is essential if you’ve picked up skeins of yarn from your local yarn shop and it isn’t in a neat little ball. The winder will shape your yarn so that it is easier to unravel as you crochet. This should mean for quicker, tangle-free crocheting!

Stanwood Needlecraft yarn winder

This yarn ball winder is a super handy tool for keeping your yarn neat and compact. This particular style allows you to pull the yarn from the centre, keeping your yarn in good shape. This winder is heavy-duty, and can hold up to 10oz of yarn.

Yarn swift

A yarn swift is a gadget that looks like an umbrella! It is a useful tool when winding skeins of yarn into balls. You can either hand-wind or use a winder to transform your yarn into compact balls.

I have added a video created by Knit picks to show you how easy and helpful a yarn swift can be to use.

This yarn swift is made from wood with a lovely black satin finish. It easily attaches to a table-top to keep still and sturdy as you wind your yarn.

Crocheting can be tough on the hands because of how the hook and yarn are gripped. The best way to ensure you don’t get achy hands is to buy ergonomic crochet hooks. These take the pressure off your hands so you can crochet for as long as your little heart desires.
