Glass Knitting Needles

These glass knitting needles are handcrafted in Cornwall by Helston glass specialist, Frank Timmins. They are replicas of a 19 century pair on display in the Museum of Witchcraft. West country witches would use them to cast spells, repeating an incantation with each stitch. When the power of the spell reached its height, the knitting would be pulled from the needles and flung into the fire, thereby releasing the wishes to the universe.

But we think these needles are also just great for regular knitting. Try some and tell us what you think. The size we currently hold is 9mm (US 13).

Because these needles are hand made they are all slightly different and lengths may vary by a few millimetres. They are supplied with a hand made black felt tasselled pouch.(Tassel colours vary.)
