Knitting's Positive Effects on Mental Health

 Meditation and yoga are becoming life-changing routines for many people, helping to bring serenity to both the mind and the body in times of stress, worry, or suffering. But did you know that knitting might help you deal with mental health issues? At Cowgirl Yarn, the home of knitting yarns, patterns, and a global community of makers, we think that knitting has both physical and mental health advantages.

Among the advantages are:

• Blood pressure has been reduced.
• Depression and anxiety have been reduced.
• Delay in the development of dementia
• Chronic pain distraction
• Enhanced sense of well-being
• Loneliness and isolation are reduced.

Knitting Has Been Shown to Reduce Anxiety

Recent research confirms what many knitters already believe: knitting has a demonstrable effect on reducing anxiety and tension. Knitting and emotions of peace and happiness were shown to be strongly linked in one worldwide survey. 

Knitting Aids in the Treatment of Chronic Pain

Chronic pain affects many individuals all around the world, of various ages and origins. Finding a technique to relieve chronic pain can often lead to unexpected answers, and for many, knitting has become an essential aspect of pain management. 

Knitting fosters social interaction

We've previously indicated that knitting in a social context, whether in person or online, has significant mental health advantages, but another aspect is that knitting frequently provides an opportunity to give back, which may be quite beneficial to your mental health.

The allure of knitting is that each trip is distinct. We encourage you to join us in learning to knit and embarking on your path to greater mental health.
