NORSK FJORD FIBER
| TOOLS FOR SPINNERS AND
KNITTERS |
Sock Egg This reproduction of my
grandmother's sock egg is perfect for the sock knitter who needs to darn a hole before the
sock becomes unsightly or unusable. Darning a sock is easy and quick and certainly is
worth the time, especially when you consider the effort you put into the socks you knit.
And this egg works on commercially knit socks as well. These are turned on a lathe using
maple and black walnut. Instructions for sock darning are included with the egg.

Waisthooks
We now have a reliable source and a new design for this popular Nordic knitting tool. A
talented metalsmith, David Hughes, supplies us with these handcrafted, solid brass nostekrok
which are based upon an historical design. Just attach a center-pull yarn ball and clip to
a pocket or belt -- this waisthook will serve the knitter-on-the-go for a lifetime.
Instructions included. Actual Size = 2"W x 4"L

"It is said that warp was spun clockwise [Z] for strength while weft
was spun to the left [S] for softness."
