3 Knitting Games for WWKIP Day

At Katia, our mission is to encourage creativity, generate wellbeing and build a community. What better way to achieve this goal than with a series of fun woolly games! If you want to take part or organize an event on June 10, 2023, for World Wide Knit in Public Day, take note! Amaze everyone with these 3 ideas for Knitting Games…

Speed Knitting

Citius, Altius, Fortius — Knitter! Although this Speed Knitting test can be approached from many angles, the goal is to knit faster than anyone else. Who will manage to knit the longest piece in the shortest amount of time? Get ready for the challenge!

Rules of the game

• • A time limit is set to knit the longest piece possible.
  • Participants can use any knitting technique they desire.
  • The length of the knitted piece will be measured when the time’s up.
  • The winner will be whoever knits the longest piece within that time limit.

Winder’s Race

If you are good at winding yarn by hand or with a ball-winder, this game is for you. In the Winder’s Race, you compete against other people to be the fastest to wind a skein of yarn. Can you do it in the shortest amount of time? There is only one way to find out!

Rules of the game

• • We measure the time it takes to wind a skein by hand or with a ball-winder.

• • The winner is whoever cakes up a skein in the least amount of time, like an individual time trial.

Blind Yarn Tasting

Prove that you know how to identify diverse types of yarn and their compositions, only through touch. This game will put your senses to the test! While blindfolded, you will touch (you can also smell) different balls of yarn to try to guess which fibers and materials they are made of. Will you be able to guess the composition and commercial names of Katia yarns?

 Rules of the game

• • Collect several balls of diverse types of yarn from the brand Katia.
  • Each ball must have a label showing its composition and commercial name.
  • Participants must be blindfolded to not see the balls of yarn.
  • One participant at a time must touch the ball to try to guess its composition (wins 1 point) and commercial name (wins 5 points).
  • Finally, whoever scores the most points at the end of the yarn tasting wins.

We bet you cannot wait for it to be World Wide Knit in Public Day to amaze everyone with these Knitting Games! Remember that on our Store Map you can see which businesses near you organize events to celebrate Knit in Public Day 2023. Contact or visit your LYS to find out more about the meeting point, timetable, and the day’s activities. We hope you enjoy these knitting meetups and have fun playing the Knitting Games!
