Yarns // Needles

We carry the Addi Turbos in all sizes, Susan Bates in most sizes, Crystal Palace double points, and Clover &  Plymouth Bamboo
The Turbos are a light metal circular needle and the cable is a plastic covered coil that doesn't kink up as you are knitting. People who try them love them and want to replace their other needles. Also Turbos are the only ones that have the longer cables 40" and also the only ones that have 15, 17, 19 in circular needles great for the multiple strand and supper bulky weight afghans and sweaters. They are a little more expensive but they are worth it.

Circular needles are easier on arthritic or any hands because you are not supporting the weight of your project out on the straight needles. Most of my customers that have arthritis prefer the bamboo circulars they say they are "warmer" than any of the metal needles. We carry Clover, Plymouth, Turbo and Crystal Palace in the circular needles..

In double points we carry the Crystal Palace double points, 5 in a pkg. Also for the lace Knitting the fine 0000's in steel needles.

I can't quote the prices off the top of my head as they vary depending on company and type of needle. Please
contact us about prices! (Usually in the $7-12 dollar range per pair)

Plymouth Bamboo Needles

Six of the most popular knitting needle sizes - 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10, and four connecting cables. They give you the above size circular needles in the following lengths - 16, 24, 32, 40". That's a whopping twenty four pairof needles in a case that will fit in you purse.

The case measures 3 1/2 X 5 1/2". The bamboo needles joins to the flexible cable with a smooth screw joint formed by a brass screw and a hard plastic shaft inserted into the base of the bamboo needle. This provides a smooth yet durable join.

What a great idea!

We also carry Plymouth straight and circular needles singularly.
