Lykke Flight Stainless Steel Sets Available for Pre-Order

i'm thrilled to be one of the first shops in the country to offer the brand-new Lykke Flight Stainless Steel Interchangeable Needle Sets! If you've heard anything about these sets, they are worth the hype.


Why you'll love LYKKE FLIGHT SETS:

  • Crafted for speed and ease - made from high-grade "316L" stainless steel (that’s medical-grade strong!)
  • ALL-NEW swivel cables - specially designed to reduce kinks and tangles, these beauties are memory-free and made from a multi-strand steel core coated in clear nylon. That means a super smooth, flexible connection that won’t twist up on you—and yes, they’re clear and beautiful, too!
  • Gorgeous waxed canvas cases - choose from either Denim or Purple waxed canvas (depending on your tip set) – stylish, sturdy, and drool-worthy
  • Multiple tip sizes and sets - whether you're working tiny stitches, bulky beauties, or something in-between, there's a set built just for your projects!


And we still have plenty of the Lykke Wooden Interchangeable Circular Needle Sets in stock if you prefer wood to metal.

Re-stocks of Your Favorites


This week, I re-stocked many of your favorite accessories, specifically CocoKnits and Degen!

Locally Grown Lavender Sachets by Rae

In addition to all the time Rae spends in the shop helping customers and creating new beautiful displays, she has found some time to create beautiful lavender sachets! These lavender sachets are hand-stuffed with lavender from her Templeton farm.


Sachets are the perfect way to add a gentle, calming scent to any room to enjoy the aroma of lavender year-round. Stash one in your project bag or with your hand knit items to help repel moths.
