NEW PRODUCTS
NEW ADDI 40CM CIRCULAR NEEDLES AND THE ADDI EXPRESS
We have just received a new shipment of Addi needles which includes the whole range of 40cm long circular Addi Turbos for our sock knitters.
Also just in is the amazing new Addi Express Machine, a jumbo version of our Innox Knitting Mills. It has more teeth and can also be used to do flat as well as circular knitting. Sleeves, scarves, ties and anything else your imagination allows can be made with this great new machine. 2 to 10 ply yarn can be used.
NEW WOOL TOPS
We have just brought in a new range of wool tops for all our felters. It is a finer micron than our existing commercial stock, making the felting process much faster. It comes in a lovely range of colours and some richer tones. There are packaged in 100gm bags with just over 3 metres in each bag. We will stock the range at both our City and East Malvern stores and on our website shopping cart.

MARTA'S CHRISTMAS IDEAS
Books
Books make great Christmas presents. Nicky Epstein's new Knitting over the Edge book has just come out and is a perfect gift for the knitter who has everything. The book is more than just a stitch pattern library with 5 lovely projects and many new knitting techniques including appliqués, loop-de-loops, flowers and bobbles. There is also a whole section on cords that can be made in next to no time with our new Inox Knitting Mills as mentioned in our last newsletter.
"Scarf Style" by Interweave Press continues to be our best selling book this year. It takes scarf design to a new level and we have already seen several versions of the beautiful 'Color on Color' scarf knitted with our $1 mini-hanks.
Huge Crochet Hooks
Some of you may have noticed that we have recently started stocking more sizes in the large Addi crochet hooks. We have sizes 12mm and 15mm in addition to the 20mm. All are suitable for crocheting with thicker yarns and fabric strips. Some interesting techniques are explained in the new book "Quick Crochet Huge Hooks" which has a great variety of crochet projects using big hooks.
