Extreme Knitting Needles

'clever, big and beautiful' from Rachel John

Big needles

We love these giant needles from Rachel John, the extreme knitter.

Rachel makes all the tools in her father's workshop. Her father David John has been a great help in setting up the machines and jigs it must be said!!! The pair shown in the photo are 27mm circumference and three feet long. You can knit a rug or a throw in two or three hours.
