Knit Pro DPN Tubes

Do you knit socks or know someone who does? Perhaps these DPN tubes from Knit Pro would come in useful?  These DPN tubes are a solution for holding and protecting your double pointed needles and work in progress. Your stitches are safely protected inside the tube and less likely to fall off of the needles.  You get a set of 3 tubes – 2 with slots and 1 without slot – to store DPN’s of all sizes as the tubes move up and down enabling storage of short and long needles.

Knitters Note Cards

These knitting notecards feature two designs, a ball of yarn and some knitting in progress.  A perfect gift for a knitting obsessed friend!

Knitting Dolly

For children (or maybe grown ups too!) why not drop a Knitting Dolly into their stocking this year.  Knitting Dollies are a lovely way to introduce children to French Knitting.  Children can make a cord from any sort of yarn, which could be used in all sorts of ways.  You could add a ball of Adriafil Knitcol yarn which comes in a range of bright colours.  It’ll keep the kids quiet for ages!

Shawl Pins

Perhaps you’ve knitted a shawl for someone this Christmas.  These beautiful shawl pins with mother of pearl detail make a perfect accompaniment.

Knit Pro Knitting Needles

A beautiful set of Knit Pro knitting needles is always a welcome present for a knitter.  We have sets of straight needles, interchangeable needles and double pointed needles, in both metal and wood.

Moda’s Cattails & Clover’s warm palette and collection of autumn prints reminds me of nature’s last burst of rich color in the fall. Cattail Creek is a delightfully easy quilt with fuzzy brown strips along a curving raw edge path. It’s the perfect companion for those chilly evenings curled up in front of the fire.

Available in jelly rolls, charm packs and layer cakes.

If the dark winter nights and chilly days are starting to get you down, then why not brighten up your life with this new fabric collection from Moda… Flora by Lauren and Jessi Jung.

Secret gardens…English tea parties…the awakening of Spring, all resonate with the same vibe that Flora captures. Flora’s English garden theme sets the mood with aviaries, bouquets, atomizers, and lattice walls, all combined to create a delicately formal mood, while still maintaining a free, more organic style of illustration.

We have jelly rolls, charm packs, layer cakes and some of the fabrics available by the metre.

Vignette Magazine issue 5 is out today!  This issue contains blocks 6 and 7 of the mystery quilt, as well as a feature on Leanne Beasley’s recent trip to Vietnam, an asian inspired stitchery pattern, shopping bag pattern and recipe for bruschetta.

Pick up your copy of this cute Australian magazine.  If you missed the earlier issues and want to make the 16 block mystery quilt, then we have a few copies of them available on our website.

Etchings is a new collection for Moda fabrics by 3 Sisters.  This collection captures some French elegance with its botanical designs that contrast with the delicate lines on architectural prints derived from an antique book the Sisters acquired on one of their many flea market jaunts.

At the moment we have the jelly rolls, charm packs and layer cakes in stock.  Some of prints will be available to buy by the metre soon.

Little Apples is a new collection by Aneela Hoey for Moda Fabric.

Autumn is coming and in this fabric you can see the little apples are falling off the trees and spied by a tortoise who has momentarily peeked out from under his shell and decided to take a stroll. Children are playing as the leaves are swirling around on the wind, providing a brilliantly coloured backdrop to all the goings on, the beauty of Autumn is definitely here in these bright and colourful fabrics.

Available individually or in a cute bundle of 5 fat quarters.

The Winter issue of Stitch Magazine celebrates rich textured fabrics, from wool felt to leather and suede—perfect for sewing cozy projects for the winter months. The issue includes 35 fun and stylish projects from garments and accessories to home accents and holiday décor.
