A Season for Gifting
If you know, love or like a knitter or crochet artist, .finding the “perfect gift” is not that hard. It’s no secret that fiber artisans enjoy the tools of their craft. Whether it is yarn, needles, hooks or the various accessories that are needed, there is something for everyone in the gift resources you will find here. Let’s begin with the knitter on your list:
Knitting Needles are the tools of the craft, so to speak. The right needle is crucial and every knitter we know usually has a preference. The number of options available are impressive:
Wood, metal, aluminum birchwood, bamboo, carbon fiber and that is not even the complete line up. Many knitters learn on bamboo or birchwood so for the sentimentalists you might consider a set of Dreamz needles one of the most popular birchwood needles. They come in straight, circular and double point sets.
Created from highly polished and radiantly colored birchwood, they are smooth to the touch for both hands and yarn. The well-defined points result in beautiful stitch definition so yarn is shown to its best advantage. The variety of colors makes organization and identification easy – a fact dear to any knitter’s heart.
Here is an example of a kit containing a set of circulars, which is fast becoming the popular option for many knitters.
This special set comes with seven sizes of needle tips, along with two cords: packaged in a clear vinyl case for easy storage. Find the rest of the details here. While there, be sure to take a look at all the other options offered in the Dreamz needles
Now let’s say that your knitter is more of a modernist – the kind of person who will love the newest, sleekest and most innovative type of needle. The Karbonz needles might be just the thing to set his or her heart aflutter. FYI: (Yes, there are scads of male knitters out there. Just google it to learn more.)
The Karbonz needle is made from one of the world’s strongest materials: carbon fiber. To give you an idea of just how strong, stealth fighter planes are made of the stuff. These needles are not only strong, but they are also easy on and warm in the hands so knitting for hours is easy. The metal coated needle tips are so beautifully shaped that they handle lace as well as all other weights of yarn. The Karbonz line is offered in a complete range of needle types, from circular, to straight, to double points. This is one example of the many needle sets available. Be sure to visit here, to see the complete Karbonz line.
