New: Shiitake and Sagebrush
Shiitake is a combination of natural, brown, and charcoal tones. Together, they create a set of needles that is elegant and sophisticated. Tom has crafted the sets in 3.5, 4, and 5 inch tip lengths. Lace pointed unless you specify otherwise.
Each set contains US 4, 5, 6, 6.5, 7, 8, and 9; three coated wire cables (3.5inch: 8, 12, 16; 4 inch: t12, 16, 21; 5 inch: 17, 21, 29), four DyakCraft logo end stops, and a case crafted from top quality quilting cottons.
The needles are all made by Tom Diak, start to finish. Each needle is turned, tapered, pointed, and buffed to perfection. The wood is dyed, laminated US Birch.
Tom also crafts the cables, and Linda sews the cases.
Needles shown in the 5 inch length.
Made in Vermont.
Sagebrush was called “New Dakota.” It was too confusing for everyone, including us!
Sagebrush is a combination of natural tones, orange, and a soft sage green. The result is a rich, warm set of gorgeous knitting needles. Tom has crafted the sets in 2, 3.5, 4, and 5 inch tip lengths. Lace pointed unless you specify otherwise. (We first called this color “New Dakota.” It caused confusion both with our customers and with us!)
Each set contains US 4, 5, 6, 6.5, 7, 8, and 9; three coated wire cables (2 inch: 5, 8, 12; 3.5inch: 8, 12, 16; 4 inch: t12, 16, 21; 5 inch: 17, 21, 29), four DyakCraft logo end stops, and a case crafted from top quality quilting cottons.

Spindles so pretty you won’t stop spinning!
Spindles are back! This is our Swan™ spindle - it has both center and rim weight for a smooth, even spin. Swans generally start at 1 ounce and up, based on turning and wood. Shafts are turned from dyed, laminated US Birch, as in our hooks and knitting needles. Our shafts don’t warp! The spindle hooks are bent from strong copper wire that holds it shape. Whorls can be turned from laminates or hardwoods. Shaft lengths vary per spindle. Tom likes variety!
This spindle sports a Paduak whorl, a Cinnamon shaft. It measures 9 inches from shaft tip to hook tip, with a 7.5 inch shaft. Weight is .9 ounces/26 grams.
Made in Vermont by Tom Diak.
