HAY, I'm Lauren. This is Having A Yarn.
Life is noisy, fast and full of screens. Having A Yarn is your invitation to slow down, switch off and make something. Our chunky, shed-free knit kits are designed for total beginners, with our very own needle-free, knot only method that makes DIY actually easy. Whether you stitch solo or chat sh-knit with friends, we're all about no stress, no complicated techniques, just simple loops, soft stitches and a little space to unwind.
I was stressed.
In my quest for a hobby that actually stuck, I stumbled back into knitting after five years away from it. I've always struggled to switch off — if I'm not being productive, what's the point? Knitting turned out to be the answer. It's rhythmic, meditative, calming, and it satisfies that itch to make something real. A moment of calm that still feels like an accomplishment.
My quest.
I wanted knitting to feel as accessible, rewarding, and fun for others as it had been for me. Hobbies shouldn't stress you out — they should help you unwind, build your confidence, and remind you that making something with your own hands is pretty damn satisfying. That's exactly why Having A Yarn was born.
