Michael "T" Higgins knitted tea cosy
This little guy was designed and made by Veronica Costello who very kindly lent it to us for the duration of our Tea Cosy Competition. Veronica gave one to the President and apparently he loves it!
You could visit him and, at the same time, come and view the over 60 tea / caffetiere / mug cosies which were entered. They were knitted, crocheted, felted, sewn and the imagination and craftsmanship exhibited is astounding! We would love it if you would vote for your favourite – we have voting cards here in the shop. All the proceeds of the competition go to St Brigid’s NS.

HiyaHiya sharp stainless steel interchangeable knitting needle set
I wanted to have something a bit different here in the shop so here is HiyaHiya!
The HiyaHiya interchangeable knitting needle sets include both interchangeable cables and tips. They feature keyless screw on cables.
Each set includes a practical and portable brocade case and needle grips to help secure the tips and the cables.
One set contains the smaller size tips as follows : 2.75mm; 3.25mm; 3.5mm; 3.75mm; 4mm; 4.5mm and 5mm. Also included are 4 cables to make needles that are 16″, 24″, 32″ and 40″ in length.
Another set includes the larger size tips : 5.5mm; 6mm; 8mm; 9mm and 10mm, together with the same cables as above.
There is also a very high quality and attractive range of HiyaHiya notions, most of which we have in the shop. Have a look at the Dumplings !

Super long gold ultra fine blocking wires
These ultra fine wires stand apart from anything else on the market today. They are perfect for your fine lace projects - light and delicate, yet incredibly strong and flexible. They are ideal for scalloped or curvy or straight edges. Made from a super-elastic wire with seemingly magical flexibility, they will not rust, tarnish, corrode, or easily kink. They will not stain your knitting, and will last for many years. You can arch and curve these wires as you need, and they will always return to straight. This special property allows these wires to be used over and over again without weakening from repeated bending and straightening. Most of them come in gold, silver or pewter tone.
Also arrived today is a big stock of nickle-plated T-pins
