This yarn comes with a knitting pattern designed especially for this skein and size 15 bamboo needles. It’s all set for your next ‘one of a kind’ project. Just start knitting. There is enough yardage for one medium length scarf.

Purples, greens,some yellow & orange for contrast and just enough glitz to make it sizzle!

I blended this yarn with a mix of 30 to 40 separately hand chosen fibers for color & texture. Then coordinated the gauge and color and tied them together end to end. When knit, the yarns change from one to another in varying colors and textures.

“The Last Knit.” A knitting story.

Am I the last knitter on the planet to see this? It has been on YouTube since Aug. 17,2006! 1.7 million views!

It is a short animated film by Finnish Director Laura Newvonen. The purpose of the film is to show the nifty computer graphic abilities of the film makers. However, the theme is about what happens when knitting becomes an obsession.

I put it up in the blog for the other two people who have not seen this. It gets a little slowish towards the end, but I totally relate to the ending.

You may notice that she broke one of her knitting needles. If you need good bamboo knitting needles, go to 7 Yaks Design.

New Bamboo Knitting Needles. 5 sets of 5 and why we did it.

I had a good request recently.

Bamboo Knitting Needle Sets of 5, sizes 0 -4

Bamboo Knitting Needle Sets of 5, sizes 0 -4

A few of my customers where just interested in a certain size range of the double pointed bamboo knitting needles. They only needed sizes 5 through 9 for example.

These knitting needles are fabulously smooth, lightweight and a joy to work with. The more you use them the better they become! Each set of 5 needles is clearly identified with metric and US size so there’s no confusion.

So I put together 5 packs of needles in groups of 5 sizes.

0 through 4
5 through 9
10 through 15
See at www.sevenyaks.etsy.com
They saved money off the single pair prices. For example… The price for one set (5) of double pointed bamboo needles (size 4) is $5.50 plus $1.50. And that is a good price.

Now the mini-set of 5 sizes 0 through 4 is only $21.00 Plus $3.50 shipping and handling.

It is like getting one set free.

Even the circular needles are at least 20% cheaper than the individual needle price, and it was great to begin with!

This gives customers the savings they would get from buying quantity without buying a complete range size set.

I’ll be getting the pictures taken of the short straight and circular needles soon. These needles have similar savings on their sets as well.

Double Pointed Bamboo Needles Available in 5,8, and 9 inch sizes.

NEEDLE ALERT!
I  have added double pointed bamboo knitting needles in 5,8, or 9 inches. I did some research and I was shocked to see what the big boys are charging.

These are quality bamboo knitting needles and I don’t have the overhead the big boys do. Why pay more for the same quality??

These knitting needles are fabulously smooth, lightweight and a joy to work with. The more you use them the better they become! Each set of 5 needles is clearly identified with metric and US size so there’s no confusion.

Check out the selection here. There’s no additional shipping charge if you add to a yarn or book purchase. Convo me for shipping rates for multiple knitting accessory purchases and I’ll be happy to let you know the amount.
