Knitting and crochet are SUPPOSED to be tension-relieving hobbies. Unfortunately, we all know that sometimes our favorite hobbies make us a little …. well, TENSE. One of the main issues with working with yarn is how to maintain tension of your yarn to make even stitches. Now you may have seen people “throw” their yarn, or perhaps “pick” their yarn. Portuguese knitting — or maybe you’ve heard it called Andean, Peruvian or Bosnian — is a style that involves movements that are totally different from the usual Continental and English styles we’re so accustomed to seeing.
What makes Portuguese knitting so unique is the tension of the yarn. The yarn tension is created by running the yarn through a pin, and also, the yarn could also be wrapped behind the knitter’s neck. Using a knitting pin, or wrapping the yarn around your neck can help your hands from getting tired or sore. You can also use a knitting pin to help keep tension with your opposite hand while doing stranded colorwork. Pins, however, can damage your clothing. So what’s better? Using a MAGNETIC pin!
These magnetic pins feature a very strong badge-holding-style magnet, and a hanging hook that is securely attached to the badge. Each badge is handmade and features a fun motif that shows off your style and snark. Each pin is between 2 to 3 inches long. Each hook coordinates with the badge in either silver color or gold color.

Welcome to a new year of La Società delle Giardiniere, our secret club of surprise boxes that will delight you throughout 2023! This year’s theme is Tools, Notions & More!
Once upon a time, in a country, but not yet a nation, called Italy, there was a secret society composed only by women: La Società delle Giardiniere, The Club of Women Gardeners. La Società delle Giardiniere was the female branch of Carboneria, a network of secret revolutionary societies active in Italy at the beginning of the 19th century. Their main goal and aim was to free Italy from oppressors and reunite the peninsula in a unique nation, which happened in 1861.
The Republic of Italy, as we know it nowadays, was established in the aftermath of World War II, in 1946, after an historical referendum that saw, for the first time, women voting.
As always the history of women is neglected in most history books.
For many reasons women do not make it to the short or longer version of history. Women are almost invisible. Most of the time women were working behind the scenes, in secret, covered up in crinoline and tea parties, surrounded by children.
This year I invite you to discover with me the stories of four women, with four surprise boxes dedicated to them. Each box will have an array of gifts and collectables notions that will make you happy, fulfilled, and chic at your next knit event!
Become part of our secret society: subscribe today!
The images you see are the inspiration behind my choices for this club: throughout 2023 you will receive four surprise boxes with unique stitch markers, and other tools and notions that are out of the ordinary. Two random boxes throughout the year will have a handmade fabric surprise.
You can choose to trust me for an entire year (and you won’t be disappointed) or buy just one box!
Deliveries will be:
1st instalment – End of January 2023
2nd instalment – End of April 2023
3rd instalment – End of July 2023
4th and last instalment – End of October 2023
Ever since we opened, we’ve wanted to start up a subscription service for our customers. Who doesn’t love getting amazing squishy surprises, delivered right to their door each month?? Well, I am thrilled to announce that Cashmere and Coconuts is officially on CrateJoy!
We have offered our subscription boxes on a month to month bases through Etsy for some time, but now you can sign up for a monthly reoccurring subscription on our brand new 85/15 Sock base, exclusive to our monthly yarn club! Choose from either one or two skeins of our extra plush and soft yarn each month, on either fingering or DK-weight yarn! Below are some examples of what our boxes have looked like in the past!
New customers can take 15% off their purchase of our Monthly Subscription box!
Also new to the shop, we now offer fiber braids for spinning/felting! With over 20 brand new colorways to choose from, on our non-Superwash Merino base, we are sure you’ll find something you love!
Lastly, we have just released our Halloween Mini Skein Box! You’re sure to love this extra spooky mini set! Quantities are limited so grab yours while you can!

Hello everyone!
Cashmere & Coconuts is thrilled to announce we have just released several new and exciting products!
After the incredible success of our Holiday Advent Set, based on the Great British Baking Show, we have put together our very first Summer Knitting Box! Just like our Advent set, our Summer Box comes with 24 20g mini skeins, one full size 100g skein, each based on our summer theme of geodes, crystals and agates, as well as 1-2 small themed gifts. Each skein is on our 75/25 Sock base, which is an incredibly soft and yet durable Merino/nylon base. You also have the option to upgrade your box to either our MCN Sock base, or if you really want to capture that sparkle found in so many geodes and crystals, our Sparkle Sock base! No matter which base you choose, we promise you won’t be disappointed!
We also have launched our brand new Monthly Fiber Box, which will be based on a different theme each month. Orders are accepted until the 10th of each month, or until all spots are filled. Space is very limited, so make sure to grab your Fiber Box while you can!
We are pleased to announce that we have launched two new shawl kits, with patterns by the incredibly talented Ambah O’Brian! Her Lilli Pilli shawl is a particular favorite of ours, and you can choose between a variety of color ways to customize your perfect shawl!
Last, but certainly not least, our widely popular Outlander Sock Box is restarting again! For those who love the beauty of Scotland, Jamie Fraser’s accent (and kilt! Ahem!) and love to watch as Claire gets herself into one scrap after another, this box is for you! Each month you’ll receive one full size 100g skein, two coordinating mini skeins, and several small goodies that any Outlander fan would love to have! (Skeins shown in photo are examples of previous Outlander boxes, however this is a Mystery Box). All Outlander skeins stay exclusive to our Outlander Sock Box for a minimum of six months and will not be released before then.
One more nugget of awesomeness for you all! Cashmere & Coconuts is offering an exclusive discount only for Indie Untanged members! Use discount code INDIEUNTANGLED14 to save 14% off your orders from now until Valentines Day!
More to come next week!
