The knot skills kit

A brilliant little piece of kit that will help young explorers learn six of the most useful knots - knowledge that's essential for any noble quest, whether it's in the back garden, on a camping holiday or walking through the woods.

Inside the handy drawstring bag are two different coloured one-metre cords and an easy-to-follow guide on how to tie them.

Ethically made from materials including natural jute and card certified as sustainable by the Forest Stewardship Council, the kit is assembled in The Den Kit Company workshop in Shropshire and makes a great gift for kids aged six and over who have an adventurous spirit.
