Glass Knitting Needles
These glass knitting needles are handcrafted in Helston, Cornwall by Frank Timmins. They are replicas of a 19th 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.
These needles are also 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 or red felt tasselled pouch.(Tassel
colours vary.) A small fact sheet is also supplied.
