Celebrate Wool Month and the 30th anniversary of Shaun the Sheep with West Yorkshire Spinners in a brand-new Knit & Crochet Along! Launching on 1st October 2025, this exciting event invites knitters and crocheters of all levels to join the flock.
The exclusive blanket design is worked in squares — available in both knitted and crocheted versions — and stars Shaun, Shirley, and little Timmy, bringing the playful spirit of the much-loved characters to life.
Each kit includes all the yarn you need in 100% British Wool ColourLab DK, showcasing the warmth, softness, and vibrant shades of this premium yarn. Whether you knit or crochet, you’ll enjoy creating a beautiful keepsake blanket while learning new techniques and celebrating the joy of wool together.
With step-by-step support, a welcoming community, and plenty of sheepish fun, this Knit & Crochet Along is the perfect way to mark Shaun’s big birthday and the wonders of British wool.
