Tom Daley Releases New Knit Kit With Woolmark

Known for making a splash both in and out of the swimming pool, Tom Daley has just dropped a fresh (and colourful) knit kit via his label Made With Love – and it promises to get even the newest of knitters reaching for their needles. The kit was created in collaboration with Woolmark alongside UK-based yarns manufacturer Laxtons – which Daley and the Made With Love team have been working with to test and trial merino wool yarns. The result? A pastel-inspired, Woolmark-certified knit kit comprised of three new knitting patterns.

‘The knit kit brings some of my favourite pieces to life using 100 percent Merino wool. The wool fibre’s natural properties make it perfect for comfort, breathability and warmth,’ said Daley. ‘It’s a natural, renewable fibre I’ve always trusted and loved, and I can’t wait to see how it inspires others on their knitting journey.’
