Inspired by the quiet energy of crystals, Soothing Stitches: Knits for a Quiet Mind contains 12 knitting patterns that encourage you to slow down. The collection, featuring both garments and accessories, explores simple yet beautiful constructions and stitch patterns, keeping your hands busy while your mind finds stillness. Woven among the pages are gentle words that echo the rhythm of knitting — poetic reflections and a touch of mindful meditation.
Pick up your needles, take a deep breath, and cast on.

I contacted Grace from Beyond Measures regarding Appletons crewel wools and she immediately responded to my query. She gave me all the informations I needed and took the time to list all the colours that were available. When I purchased, my parcel was dispatched on the same day! I am very happy with the service and quality of materials I have received.
Loved this introduction to Sashiko…I am totally hooked. No worries about the instructions being in Japanese ChatGPT translated perfectly. Response from the Beyond measure team were prompt and v helpful. One happy customer returning.
Excellent quality, being a well made hoop and a deeper frame it's so much better at holding the fabric taut
Always a joy to receive an order from Beyond Measure. Quick reliable service. Beautifully wrapped. I love Grace’s leather thimbles, just prefect for hand quilting. Definitely recommend Beyond Measure for all your creative needs. X
I love this stuff, it makes it so easy to transfer embroidery/ Sashiko patterns, I just trace the pattern then sew over the top and it washes away under a running tap.
