It is the most wonderful time of the year... time for the KnitPicks Big Sale! From 11/11/24 - 11/27/24 hundreds of yarns on KnitPicks and Crochet.com sites will be up to 60% off!

In this post, I am going to track all of the deals and discounts in the 2024 KnitPicks Big sale. You will find the currently active deals, an archive of expired promotions (so we can track for future years), and my personal shopping strategy. Let's have some fun!

My 2024 Shopping Strategy
I purchase a LOT of yarn during the KnitPicks Big Sale. In 2024 I purchased over 100 skeins or bare yarn and colorways I thought would be fun to overdye! I spend a lot of time thinking about how to best organize my purchases so I can take advantage of freebies and get the best deals during the sale. My personal strategy is to take advantage of yarns that are 30-60% off during the big sale and to split my orders up so I can get free shipping and take advantage of any daily promotions.
At KnitPicks and Crochet.com, you are allowed to use one coupon per purchase. These coupon codes stack with items that are already marked down, so you can sometimes get a free item with a minimum purchase or you may be able to get an additional discount on top of what is already marked down.
In previous years, there have been muliple freebie options during the big sale. We've seen project bags, travel kits that include scissors, tiny stuffed alpacas, pompoms, yarn, enamel pins, and even more items available for free with a coupon code and minimum purchase. Because I didn't know when the next freebie deal would drop, I would divide up my orders so I could get the yarn I want and take advantage of as many other additional items as possible.
This may be a little silly, but since I plan to order a lot of yarn ANYWAY, this works for me. Don't forget that I'm ordering yarn to supply the materials for my YouTube yarn dyeing videos so shopping the Big Sale is a great way for me to get savings on yarn I would be buying anyway.

Discount Math
Let's chat about everyone's favorite subject... Math. (Math really was my favorite subject in school!) I promise that this is fun Math because I'm going to talk about more ways we can save money buying yarn!
You can stack a site wide coupon code with the bulk bare yarn discount (15% off a 20 pack of yarn - priced as marked) for additional savings. If you use a 20% coupon code on an item already marked down 15%, you can save 32% off of the retail price! This stacking discount is why I tend to focus on yarns that are >30% off from the Big Sale markdowns.
I keep these numbers in mind in case there is a site wide coupon code once the Big Sale ends. Of course, we can't guarantee that there will be a coupon code for Black Friday - but I'm pretty sure there has been one every year as far back as 2015. There is also never a guarantee that the yarn you want will still be available for a site wide coupon, so if there is something you NEED it is best to shop early.
I confirmed 11/11/2024 that the "MYYARNPACK" coupon code stacks with Big Sale discounts! |
You can use one coupon code per purchase, and we know about an awesome coupon code that has been active for all of 2024 - the Build Your Own Yarn Pack promo. Through 12/21/2024, if you buy 10 or more skeins from the same yarn line, use the code "MYYARNPACK" to save 10% off these 10 skeins. This discount stacks on top of other discounts marked on the website. It does NOT stack with the bulk 20 packs of bare yarn.
I did the math for you so you can see how a 10% off discount stacks against other discounts. (Don't forget that the 10% off is applied to the discounted price, not the original item price.)
KnitPicks vs Crochet.com
KnitPicks and Crochet.com share a warehouse and offer many of the same yarns. Why might you shop at one versus the other? The big sale discounts should be the same on both websites, but you may notice some other difference.
They two sites have different minimums for freeshipping ($75+ at KnitPicks and $45+ at Crochet.com) They often feature different promotions (freebies, special item discounts, etc) and may carry some items that are unique to that website. Any KnitPicks/WeCrochet yarn should be available on both sites, but some knitting needles / crochet hooks, notions, and third party offerings may vary between the sites. Recently the company updated the Crochet.com website so the layout is now different from the KnitPicks site, so you may feel more comfortable navigating one site vs the other.
KnitPicks & WeCrochet Bare Stroll Fingering weight yarn. This 75% Superwash Merino / 25% Nylon sock yarn is my favorite yarn base to dye. I think I've dyed thousands of this yarn base over the years. |
You will notice most yarns are labeled with "KnitPicks" and "WeCrochet" - these are the in house branded items for both companies. Anything labled "WeCrochet" on crochet.com is manufactured by the company, versus being another yarn line such as Lion Brand or Berroco. In posts like this I will often say "WeCrochet" vs "Crochet.com" out of habit since that is still how I think of the branding.
New Yarn Bases?
Coming soon. There is never a guarantee that there will be something new, but sometimes we get a release of "Special Reserve" limited edition yarns during the Big Sale. Fingers crossed!
The High Desert Rovings are marked down in the Pre-Big Sale 30% off Promotion. I'm not sure if they'll still be on sale during the Big Sale itself. |

Big Sale Livestreams
I went Live on YouTube at 11 AM Eastern Time on 11/11/24 to shop and strategize for the Big Sale. Watch the replay (or join me live!) if you want to see me answer some questions and hang out.
Random Thoughts
In 2024, the Big Sale and $2/4/6 yarn day launched at midnight Pacific time - likely because they announced that promo ahead of time. In past years, website updates happened at 5 AM Pacific, 8 AM Eastern. This is good to know, but it is possible if there was bare yarn on $2/4/6 yarn day it had sold out by the time I woke up at 6 AM.

There are two cables (1 each of 24" and 40"), 4 cable end caps, 1 cable key, and the needles come in a clear vinyl needle case with a snap. Before I discovered my favorite Options tips, I started out with a similar try it set way back in 2011. I prefer the wooden needle tips to the nickle plated metal ones - I use these in various colors for all of my knitting projects. I find the cables to be super flexible and easy to work with, too. (Side note - I cannot believe I found my old order in my email from 13 years ago!)
