Our new videos teach you how to knit socks step-by-step. Learn how to use double pointed needles and make a comfortable pair of socks from the cuff down!

We love to see new and creative uses of yarn. British director Sarah Cox created a knitted short film called “Don’t Let It All Unravel,” that draws attention to the global climate crisis. The piece has been to film festivals, including the Tribeca Film Festival, the Live Earth Film Project, and the Encounters Film Festival just last month.
