WeCrochet vs. Knit Picks: What’s the Difference? (And Where to Shop the Summer Yarn Sale!)

If you’ve ever wondered whether WeCrochet and Knit Picks are the same company you’re not alone! It’s a question I get often, especially during big sale events. And with their Summer Sale kicking off June 16th, now’s the perfect time to clear things up and help you shop smarter. 🧶

Spoiler alert: yes, they’re the same company… but not exactly the same! And depending on what you’re looking for, one might be a better fit for your next yarn haul.

🏢 Knit Picks and WeCrochet: Same Parent Company

Both Knit Picks and WeCrochet are part of the same umbrella company, Crafts Group LLC. They share a warehouse, many of the same yarns, tools, and even the same sale calendar. So if you’ve added Brava, Dishie, or Palette yarn to your cart on either site it’s all coming from the same place.

But here’s where it gets interesting…

🔍 What’s the Difference?

Even though they offer the same yarn lines, each site has its own personality—and a few differences that matter:

Feature

WeCrochet

Knit Picks

Focus

Crochet-first

Knitting-first

Free Shipping (US)

$45+

$65+

Blog/Patterns

More crochet-based

More knitting-based

Branding

Bright, modern

More classic/minimalist

So if you’re mostly a crocheter and want a lower free shipping threshold, WeCrochet is the better option. If you’re shopping for knitting tools, Knit Picks might have a slightly better layout for you.

🧶 Yarn Spotlight: Palette Yarn + My C2C Gradient Shawl

One of my favorite yarns to grab during this sale is Palette. It’s a fingering-weight 100% wool yarn that comes in TONS of colors, perfect for colorwork, gradient fades, or stash-building.

I actually used Palette for my Corner to Corner Gradient Shawl, and I love how it turned out. If you’re looking for a lightweight, wearable summer project, this one’s great!

    How I Modified A Hexagon Cardi for Mid & Plus Size

    Hexagon Cardigan Modifications Hey yarn lovers! If you're a midsize or plus-size crocheter looking for ways to customize your hexagon cardigan for a more flattering and comfortable fit, I’ve got some great tips for you. I recently finished my second hexagon cardi and made a few modifications that helped me feel more confident wearing it. Here’s what I learned! The Inspiration Behind My Second Hexagon Cardi A while back, I made a basic hexagon cardigan using Red Heart Super Saver yarn. While I loved the pattern and even won a blue ribbon at my county fair, I wasn’t sure I would actually wear it. It felt a bit too boxy and oversized for my liking. This time, I decided to use Herrschners Witches Brew yarn for a fun Halloween-inspired version. Get the yarn HERE . Since I wanted to ensure I would love wearing it, I made a few tweaks to improve the fit and feel. Key Modifications for a Better Fit 1. Adjusting the Shoulder Fit Instead of making the panels overly large, I measured my sho...

    New to Hobby Lobby? Here’s What You Need to Know About Shopping for Yarn

      If you're new to shopping for yarn at Hobby Lobby, let me help you avoid some rookie mistakes. I’ve learned a lot over the years, and today I’m breaking it all down so you can shop like a seasoned pro, especially when those big clearance sales roll around! Start with the Weekly Sale Schedule First things first: Hobby Lobby runs on a weekly rotating sale schedule . That means every week, different departments go on sale. The yarn section, is it's own department. When it’s that department’s turn, all the yarn will be 30% off. Here’s the catch: that sale only lasts a week, and the schedule rotates every other week. So if you’re walking into the store when yarn isn’t on sale, it has switched to a fabric sale week. I advise checking online before shopping and planning accordingly.  Hobby Lobby’s Yarn Brands Hobby Lobby carries a few big-name brands, like Lion Brand, but the real stars of the show are their private label yarns. These are exclusive to Hobby Lobby and in...
