The BEST Amazon Prime Big Deals for Knitters
October 8-9 is a big day for Amazon Prime members.
A HUGE portion of the site has some crazy good deals.
But it can be a challenge to filter through all of the popular items like Apple Watches, Keurig coffee makers, and Kindle Fire Tablets to find the stuff you really care about...
Knitting supplies!
Luckily I've done the hard work for you.
Granted there aren't a TON of options, but I think I've found some deals that every knitter will love.
So let's jump in...
Inmaker Yarn Winder & Swift Combo β’ Get it hereβ
A few members of our community have RAVED about buying a swift and yarn winder. Being able to wind your own center pull balls is a game changer.
This set is a great way to get started without having to drop a ton of money on more expensive wooden options.
β
Bernat Blanket Ombre Yarn β’ Get it Hereβ
Chenille yarn has made a BIG comeback in the past couple of years.
While this yarn says it's "ombre" I'd call it self-striping.
That being said, it comes in nice big skeins of 300g each, and this deal includes 2 skeins at 38% off!
β
48 Color Bead Kit β’ Get it Hereβ
Last year we did a workshop on knitting with beads, which was quite popular with our members.
Adding beads to your knitting is a great way to add some class, and this kit is a good option for experimenting.
But this is a Lightning Deal, so grab it before it's gone!
β
Red Heart Super Saver Craft Kit β’ Get it Hereβ
I'm no yarn snob. Sometimes the best tool for the job is an affordable acrylic yarn, and Super Saver is a classic.
This kit comes with 12 colors in 50g skeins. Plus there are 8 different color combinations to choose from!
Use this kit for pom poms, toys, and practicing your colorwork skills.
β
Lion Brand Mandala String β’ Get it Hereβ
This 100% acrylic yarn is self-striping with big color changes and gorgeous palettes.
With a generous 350 yds per skein you'll get a lot out of this yarn.
But this limited time offer of 15% off is running out soon!
β
β
We've featured this product many times before, but right now it's 50% off and that's a steal!
Having more light on your knitting is a big help and this is a great way to illuminate your work without blinding everyone else.
β
I'm an Apple guy but I know an iPad is not in everyone's price range.
However I think having a digital tablet for storing and viewing tutorials and patterns is darn close to a necessity these days.
The great thing about an Amazon Fire tablet is you can also watch videos, read or listen to books, and even use apps to track your knitting!
β
So there you have it!
There's thousands of products on sale on Amazon right now, but these deals are ONLY for Prime members.
If you're not a member start a FREE 30-Day Trial today and grab some of these amazing deals before they're gone.
