Review: Hooks & Needles Monthly Subscription Box

I am so excited to have this opportunity to share a review of the Hooks & Needles monthly subscription box! I recently joined the Hooks & Needles affiliate program, and was contacted by the company to write a review for the subscription box. I can’t even tell you how excited I was! If you know me, you know I love to knit and create beautiful gifts for friends and family. Sometimes I find myself scrolling for hours for new patterns, so I was looking forward to getting a pre-packaged box with everything I need in order to make my project – including patterns for every level. I’m definitely not an advanced knitter, so I was excited to see easier patterns too. Knitting has become an outlet for me to relieve stress and just sit and practice mindfulness. As a full time school counselor and mother of two very busy sons, I look forward to any opportunity in my day to just sit and knit. I can simply relax while also feeling productive.

Full disclosure: as an affiliate of Hooks & Needles, if you click on any of the affiliate links and make a purchase within a certain time frame, I’ll earn a small commission. The commission is paid by the retailers at no cost to you. Now, for the good stuff!

What Is Hooks & Needles?

Hooks & Needles is a monthly subscription box that contains contents for knitting, crocheting, or Amigurumi. You choose which one you want. As you can see above, I chose the knitting box. Take a look inside (photos above) – the first thing I noticed (once the excitement of the box arrival subsided) was the beautiful color combination of the yarn. I quickly then noticed how soft and high quality the yarn was. Each skein of yarn is custom ordered from Italy and Portugal. Each box comes packed with high quality yarns, patterns for different skill levels, and all the necessary tools PLUS a free gift to start a project immediately. Who doesn’t love a free gift? My free gift was a pair of swan-shaped scissors. Each box contains a magazine, put together by experts and it includes beautiful step by step instructions for each project. It is chock full of tips and tricks too! They have even created tutorial videos for every project.

What’s The Story?

This is my favorite part – the story behind Hooks & Needles. A new mom’s desire to create cozy clothes for her newborn quickly transformed into a knitting and crocheting passion. This passion blossomed into Hooks & Needles with the goal of spreading the relaxing, fun, and satisfying crafts of knitting and crocheting. Supporting other women along their journey to success is something that is really important to me, so this was the icing on the cake.

How Does It Work?

You subscribe, experts carefully put together easy to follow projects in every box, and then you create beautiful crafts that you can keep or gift! You can customize your subscription by skipping months if you want to. You can even subscribe for a friend or family member – this is a brilliant gift idea for any friend or family member who is wanting to learn to knit or crochet, or for the expert knitter/crocheter who is looking for fresh new patterns and ideas. Short and fun projects for all levels take less than 30 days to create – just in time for the next box to arrive! Hooks & Needles is so confident in the quality of their boxes – they have a 30 day money back guarantee if you’re not completely happy.

The Real Real

I’m a fan. I really love this as a gift idea for crafters in your life who already have everything they could possibly need. Or this could be a gift for someone who has never knit or crocheted before. It is even a perfect gift for yourself. When was the last time you treated yourself? When starting a new craft or hobby it is tough to figure out everything you need to buy to get started. These boxes come with everything you will need for your projects plus free gifts that will help with your crafting supply stock. I have friends who have children who are just learning to knit or crochet and this is a great gift idea for them because they can learn new skills very easily, and it does not include them being attached to a screen. Plus – you will have all patterns forever, and if you run out of yarn, you can purchase more through the Hooks & Needles website.

I haven’t started my project yet, and I’m not sure which one I want to make. I am excited to pick one and get knitting! I have a choice between a Sunset Swirl Tote (beginner), Mug Cozy (intermediate), or Gradient Scarf (Advanced). Which one would you choose?

~Happy crafting! 🧶💜
