Handmade on Whidbey Island, Washington, these beautiful glass cable needles from Fiber & Flame combine everyday usefulness with a touch of artistry. Each piece is made by glass artist Devin using durable borosilicate glass and carefully kiln-annealed in a digitally controlled kiln for strength.
Smooth and lightweight, these cable needles hold stitches securely while you work cables without adding bulk to your project.
Two sizes are available:
lace through sport weight yarns, making it ideal for socks, lightweight garments, and finer cable work.
fingering through DK weight yarns and offers a slightly larger tool that many knitters find easier to handle.
Fiber & Flame is run by Devin and Brittany, who live on Whidbey Island with their daughter and a lively collection of animals including dogs, sheep, rabbits, ducks, and chickens. Devin has been working with glass since 2004, first discovering lampworking at the craft center at California Polytechnic State University–San Luis Obispo. Brittany began knitting that same year, which sparked a love of fiber arts that eventually grew to include spinning and weaving.
Because each piece is handmade, slight variations in color and appearance are part of what makes these tools unique.
