SIRKA’S ARE BACK IN STOCK!!
In case you missed them previously, here is what Sirka’s are all about...
Can you relate?!?! Have you ever come across a pattern instruction which begins with the five worst words in knitting – "AND AT THE SAME TIME"? Well, SIRKA to the rescue!!
Introducing the Sirka Counter! An innovative new product – a row counter that multitasks! Keep track of up to three separate counts all AT THE SAME TIME. You don't even have to remember when to stop counting! The Sirka® counter does that for you too.
The Sirka® Counter's moving clock face gives you three ways to track your rows, pattern repeats, increases, decreases, buttonholes, stitch patterns, etc.
- Made, designed and assembled in the U.S.A.
- The Sirka® Counter is made of durable materials (a plastic known as "ABS" and stainless steel) with an interior spring mechanism.
- Measures approximately 4 ¼” long x 3 1/8” wide x 7/8” deep.
- Offered in four eye-catching colors!
Sirka Colourways:
- BIRD – yellow/turquoise/grey
- DOLPHIN – purple/turquoise/grey
- RAINBOW SET – #1 is red/orange/yellow; #2 is blue/purple/turquoise
How to Use the Sirka Counter:
To use the Sirka, you assign one task to each of the different coloured hands on the clock face, and then use the matching coloured “crowns” beneath the face to count. When the crown meets the hands, then that tells you when you’ve gotten to your intended stopping place.
Want to protect your wonderful new, multi-tasking Counter? Sirka has specially designed Bento Boxes that are available to purchase separately.
BENTO BOX – A protective, form fitting Sirka carrying case for easy storage in your project bag.
The Sirka Bento Box is designed to protect your Sirka counter in style. Shaped like a Japanese lunchbox, the Sirka Bento Box consists of a base, a lid, a protective piece of felt and a fabric elastic band. Simply place your counter (dial side up!) inside the base, center the felt shape over the dial, place the lid on top, and secure the lid to the base with the elastic band. Ridges on either side of the lid keep the elastic band in place.
The Bento Box for the Sirka Counter is available in four beautiful colourways so you can match your Bento Box to your Sirka® Counter. Or, if you’re not a ‘matchy, matchy’ person, then simply just choose your favourite colour. Perfection!
Bento Box colour choices are:
- Yellow (matches ‘Bird’ Sirka Counter)
- Turquoise (matches the ‘Dolphin’ Sirka Counter)
- Red (matches ‘Rainbow 1’ Sirka Counter)
- Purple (matches ‘Rainbow 2’ Sirka Counter)
(Please note: The Bento Box is sold separately and does not contain a Sirka Counter.)
Be sure to come by the shop
and take a closer look at this fascinating new gadget.
How did this little gadget come about?
The Making of Sirka:
One day, feeling more than a little impatient, we thought, ‘wouldn't it be great to have a gadget that counted more than one number’? For example, the instructions "Decrease every 6 (6, 7, 8) rows 2 (3, 4, 5) more times", has two numbers to count, and then what happens when you get to the buttonholes, the instruction for which begins with the five worst words in knitting – "AND AT THE SAME TIME"?
We wanted a counter that could multitask. We wanted it to count more than one thing, AT THE SAME TIME, and we wanted it to tell us when to stop because we always forget that, too. We didn't want our counter to be ridiculously complicated, of course, but we did want it to be attractive. Beauty is knitting, knitting beauty. That is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know!
When we'd made a list of things we wanted our counter to be, we asked ourselves, how hard can it be? Never ask that question.
And that's how the Sirka® counter was born! Happy knitting! – taken from Sirka’s ‘About Us’ page
Fully Restocked...
Lily Sugar ‘n Cream Dishcloth Cotton
Newly restocked in every single colour available (with the exception of 3 colours that were backordered – uugh!)

New Stock selection...
Made by hand in New Brunswick
Yarn caddies are like a "lazy Susan" for yarn! The top spindle spins freely on the wooden base, allowing your yarn to perfectly unwind from the outside of any type of ball of yarn (hand-wound, wound using a ball winder, or commercial balls of yarn). Using two at once for colourwork helps prevent your yarn from tangling!
Back Row, Left to Right:
- Cherry, Ash & Spalted Aspen
- Ash, Butternut & Spalted Aspen
- Birch & Cherry
Front Row, Left to Right:
- Ash, Spalted Birch & Aspen
- Poplar, Spalted Apple & Spalted Aspen
