Fandom Spotlight: Harry Potter

Harry Potter-Inspired Knitting and Crochet Yarn, Patterns, and Fandom Gear

Our very first Fandom Spotlight feature here on the Fandom Knitting + Crochet blog is Harry Potter themed.  So, what’s a Fandom Spotlight?  Well, it is a collection of knitting, crochet, yarn, and fandom gear related to a particular fandom.  Different fandoms will be featured, but I thought I’d start with a big one, and there aren’t many fandoms bigger than Harry Potter.

So, if you want to knit, crochet, yarn shop, get yourself some Hogwarts swag, this is my go-to guide.  I’ve rounded up some of my absolute favorite Harry Potter goodies, and I hope you enjoy!

Hogwarts-worthy Yarn

Here’s a sampling of some of the coolest Harry Potter-inspired yarn.  There are so many wonderful dyers that use The Boy Who Lived and his world as their inspiration, and there are also some fabulous solids that work well for the classic house scarves.

Hogwarts House Colors

For the house scarves and the beanies, I really like Lion Brand’s Heartland Yarn.  They have perfect combos for Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff fans.

1. Gryffindor: Redwood & Yellowstone
2. Ravenclaw: Lake Clark & Mammoth Cave
3. Slytherin: King’s Canyon & Mount Rainier
4. Hufflepuff: Yellowstone & Black Canyon
