There are four new designs in the ever-popular Stitchlets range including a cuddly koala and a bright toucan. All the designs in the range are perfect to send as cards or to mount in little ‘flexi-hoops’. There are two new additions to the Tiddlers range; a colourful hummingbird and a hedgehog enjoying a flower. This year a cheeky Westie and a Cockapoo join the Paw Prints collection. We also see two brand new additions to the ‘Stitchlets for Special Occasions’ range; two flamingos in love and a particularly appropriate teddy sending hugs. There are designs to suit all ages and tastes and none of them will break the bank with most retailing under £3.

Lykke Cypra is a totally new concept combining practicality and luxury in one set of beautifully crafted needles. Manufactured from pure and untreated copper, Cypra needles are incredibly comfortable to use whilst maintaining the natural anti-viral properties associated with the metal. In time the needles develop a beautiful patina, magically changing colour as they wear in. Naturally this process can be reversed by polishing with a fine metal polish, if so desired. The Lykke Cypra sets come in both 5in and 3.5in lengths, in a choice of black or brown plush vegan suede cases. There’s also a new interchangeable swivel cord allowing for an even more pleasurable and easy knitting experience. Cypra interchangeable needles will also be available in individually packed pairs of needle tips. +44 (0)7921 454 024 gareth@knittingfever.com www.knittingfever.com OH SEW BOOTIFUL This beautiful, feminine design is made up of three different stitches (all with illustrated instructions) and would be perfect for any skill level.
