Knitters welcome DIY Schitt’s Creek merch

One of the most outstanding things about the award-winning Canadian comedy show Schitt’s Creek? The wardrobes of the Rose family. From Moira’s eccentric wigs, to Johnny’s suits and David’s sweaters to Alexis’ bohemian-inspired outfits. It is not new for viewers to take inspiration for their wardrobes from their favourite TV characters, but now, rather than opting for a pre-made collection for high prices, you can just craft your own. 

ITV Studios is hopping on the DIY train with Schitt’s Creek crafts merchandise. They partnered up with US fifth generation family-owned business The Lion Brand Yarn Co. For this collab they’ll launch yarns and patterns which will be available by the end of this year, with retail prices starting at $9.99 (£7.16).

With these temperatures, SPF 50 is going over the counter about as quickly as ice cream, and we can’t be careful enough not to burn our skin. To help you keep your head cool and keep that sunstroke at bay, we’ve selected the best DIY sun hats.
