One reason to knit (and sew and rummage in charity shops) is to be able to recreate designer looks without breaking the bank. So we were intrigued to see that hip online shop Net-A-Porter have started offering knitting kits – and suggesting which designer items to pair them with.
Designed and sourced by a multinational team, Wool and the Gang, the kits are billed as glamorous, fun and fabulous, and a chance to learn a new skill – they also cost from £69 up.
The garter stitch scarf kit shown in the image above is listed at £120, and while that might be a snip for a designer item, it's a lot to ask for a DIY scarf – even if the kit does include a pair of needles.
We would love to get our hands on the kit and find out what the quality of the wool is like as it certainly doesn't seem like value for money at first glance.
