CORDS, KITS, TAPES & NEW YARN
Monday, May 24, 2021 – Cords, Kits, Tapes & NEW YARN
Under the current ‘stay at home’ restrictions, we are still OPEN for CURBSIDE PICKUP and delivery, accepting payment over the phone, but we cannot accept ‘TAP’ at the door nor offer ‘curbside window shopping’ until the ‘stay at home’ order is lifted. For updated details regarding how we are operating under the re-adjusted Control Zone, please visit our website homepage.
Hello! Enjoy this holiday Monday. Even though the store is closed today, we are dropping into your inbox featuring some new notions that have arrived, as well as NEW yarn and two other newer yarns with more colour choices, all of which have recently been posted to our website.
Don’t we all have a love for ‘gadgets’ (aka notions) that make our crafting not only easier, but fun at the same time?!?
NEW!!
LYKKE's newest cords are now available as a SWIVEL cord, in various lengths!
These Blush Swivel Cords are made to fit all of your LYKKE interchangeable needles. They are memory-free, with more pliability and don't kink up as you turn your needles! The SWIVEL cuffs on these cords are capable of turning 360 degrees for ease of use.
**NOTE: The LYKKE Blush cords also fit Knitters Pride and Knit Picks interchangeable needle tips**
Compliment your LYKKE, Knitters Pride or Knit Picks interchangeable needle sets with additional cords, and SWIVEL cords at that – even better!!
Not only can you purchase more 24”, 32” and 40” common length cords, but you can also purchase additional 16”, 20”, 47” and 60” cord sizes that are not included with regular interchangeable circular needle sets.
You can use the extra cords to start multiple projects, use extra cords as stitch holders or interconnect two or more cords with a cord connector (purchased separately) to add more cord length to your needles.
The LYKKE Blush Swivel Cords feature a long threaded screw-in “join” that insures the cord and needles stay connected for extra security. Best of all, the connection is snag-free with a no-twist glide and contains a hole for a cord key that can also be used for a lifeline.
Each cord comes with a pair of end stoppers and a tightening key.
Available in 16”, 20", 24", 32", 40", 47", and 60" lengths for both 3.5” and 5” needle tips.**
Any length cord can be used interchangeably with 3.5” or 5” needle tips.
Blush SWIVEL Cords to fit 3.5” [5”] tips:
9” [–] cord to make a 16”/40 cm circular **Only compatible with the 3.5” short tips**
13” [10”] cord to make a 20”/50 cm circular
17” [14”] cord to make a 24”/60 cm circular
– [22”] cord to make a 32”/80 cm circular
– [30”] cord to make a 40”/100 cm circular
– [37”] cord to make a 47”/120 cm circular
– [50”] cord to make a 60”/150 cm circular
NOTE: the 3½” needle tips can be attached to ALL of the above listed cords, but keep in mind that the overall cord length will be 3” shorter in the 32”- 60” cords.
Each cord package contains:
- One blush swivel cord
- Two end caps
- One cord key
NOTE: The LYKKE SWIVEL cords will fit ALL Lykke interchangeable knitting needle tips and Tunisian interchangeable crochet hooks as well as Knitters Pride & Knit Picks.

Inspired by the trellis upon which my climbing hydrangeas grow I designed this easy to knit shawl for long hot lazy days of Summer when you just want a nice simple project with very few challenging stitches to disturb the tranquil process of simply knitting back and forth as you swing on the porch swing or relax in a hammock. Sit back, pour a glass of sweet tea and enjoy.
