Frequently Asked Questions
What is a test knit?
In a test knit or test crochet, a new design is knitted or crocheted by several craft enthusiasts before its release. This allows the fit, sizing, pattern steps, and potential errors to be checked in practice before the design is published.
Do I have to buy the yarn?
Yes, you order the required yarn yourself from the shop – you will receive a 15% discount from us on the test knit yarn.
How much time do I need?
That depends on the specific project. You can find out the exact deadline and estimated timeframe directly in the Knitplace room from the designer.
