I&#8217;ve just stocked up on enough to make a few new sweaters for the winter. And, if that&#8217;s not enough, I have bonus coupon codes for you to make the deals even better. <\/p>\n<p>I always like to stack discounts wherever I can to get the best possible deals, so read on for my top tips for saving money with a KnitPicks order, and my recommended tools to buy:<\/p>\n<h2>Free Shipping<\/h2>\n<p>KnitPicks offers free shipping over $75 USD (US\/CA), \u00a385 (UK), $120 AUD (AU) if you want to replenish your stash or stock up on tools. If your shopping cart is anywhere near those totals, try adding a couple more balls of yarn or a tool or two to push it over the limit, and the extra cost will be partially or totally offset by the shipping savings. <\/p>\n<p><em>I took complete advantage of this: I was at $65 + $10 shipping, so I added $10 more yarn, still paid $75 total, and got 5 extra balls of yarn for no extra cost!<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Bonus Coupon Codes<\/h2>\n<p>These are the best current offers at the time I write this post (<a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/4r2m8\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">click here<\/a> to see all the current offers) &#8211; you can stack <strong>one<\/strong> of these with this sale:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you&#8217;re buying lots of yarn from the same line: buy 10+ of any single yarn line (you can mix colours) and <strong>save 10%<\/strong> with code <strong>MYYARNPACK<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>If you want to try knitting for the first time, or try some new needles: spend $65+ and  and get a <strong>free<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/4qzf3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Try It Needle Set<\/a> with code <strong>TRY2024<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>I used the second code: I&#8217;d save $5 on my yarn with the 10% code, but the needle set is worth $15 and I want to try their steel and birch needle tips and get some extra cables, so that was a better deal for me.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>My Favourite Tools<\/h2>\n<p>I have a few favourite tools from KnitPicks that I use all the time, so I&#8217;ve made a page that links directly to each of them. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetjune.com\/blog\/support-planetjune\/my-recommended-knitpicks-tools\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/knitpicks_tools.jpg\" alt=\"a selection of my favourite KnitPicks tools (scissors, ball winder, pins, tape measure, knit picker, soak wash)\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to see my recommendations, or are looking for a little something to push you over that free shipping limit, here are<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetjune.com\/blog\/support-planetjune\/my-recommended-knitpicks-tools\/\">My Recommended KnitPicks Tools >><\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>I think we could all use a way to make our dollars stretch a bit further these days, and I can&#8217;t wait for my haul of bargains to arrive! In case you&#8217;re wondering, here&#8217;s my shopping list (I can&#8217;t use wool, so I&#8217;ve had to miss out on some other lovely-looking yarns):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I&#8217;ve stocked up on <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/4qzdt\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brava Recycle<\/a> &#8211; it&#8217;s a recycled acrylic yarn in lovely heathered neutral colours, and with the<br \/>\nsale price I&#8217;ve bought enough to make several sweaters with it.<\/li>\n<li>I grabbed a ball of <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/4qzdv\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brava 500<\/a> &#8211; that&#8217;s 500g of yarn in a single ball, and some colours are reduced to half price. I should be able to make an entire sweater from a single ball &#8211; wow!<\/li>\n<li>And I restocked on my favourite no-rinse wash, <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/4qzbr\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Soak<\/a>. I&#8217;ve been using this for well over a decade, to wash all my handknits and delicates, and even to soak the grime off pet collars and purses. It works like magic!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This particular yarn sale ends on Nov 27th, but there&#8217;ll be more KnitPicks sales coming up for Black Friday and beyond (see all the current sales <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/4r2m8\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>), and I hope my tips on deal stacking and my list of recommended tools will be useful whenever you read this post!
