JOIN KNIT FOR PETS CHALLENGE!

JOIN OUR PET KNITTING COMPETITION!

To show our appreciation for all of our furry friends, who are there for us every day, we are running a 3 week KNIT FOR PETS CHALLENGE!

Get crafting and knit or crochet something special for your pet in your favourite yarn and share as you knit along, to be in with the op-purr-tunity of winning a £150 Qing Fibre gift voucher!

Anyone who has a pet, will know how much joy and happiness they bring to every day of our lives. But did you know how much of an effect they are having on both our physical and mental well-being?

Scientific studies have shown that pet owners are less likely to suffer from depression and low mood. Playing games with your dog or cat can produce both serotonin and dopamine, two very important chemicals for our brain's health. Having a furry friend can even help reduce your cholesterol and blood pressure! Who knew?! So we wanted to say thanks to our friends that help us day in, day out and let them join in on the yarn fun!

MEET CHARLIE DOG

We've knitted up a couple of handmade toys in our exclusive Birthday Cake colourways for our glamorous assistant, Charlie, in the run up to the challenge to give you all some inspiration! You can use any pattern, use a free existing one or simply DIY your own creation. We can't wait to see all different types of knitting techniques, textures and colour combinations that you come up with!

We will also be joining you in the 3 week challenge and will be sharing pictures as we go, so even if you’re just starting out knitting with basic skills or a professional knitter we’re sure you can create something small and cute.

It is Charlie's 8th Birthday at the end of the month so we will be knitting him a special birthday gift! Follow our progress on Instagram and our weekly newsletter.
