SAY HELLO TO OUR NEWEST NEEDLE ADDITiON!
Hiya Needles are a relative newcomer to the needle world.
Originally created in 2002, knitwear designer,
Qianer Huang(below), made a decision to create some new needles.
Qianer brings the practical aspects to the business, ensuring that the needles are pleasing to knit with and comfortable in hand. Her brother and father are the engineering geniuses behind the design and manufacture of HiyaHiya needles, making this a unique small family-owned business based in Shanghai, China.
One of the reasons we decided to get into Hiya needles is that they are made from stainless steel, and contain no nickel. We have come across many knitters, especially sock knitters, who suffer from nickel allergies, and although they loved working with metal needles, could not use Addi's, as they are nickel plated. Hiya is a lovely and practical solution!
Wild Purls is now carrying HiyaHiya's 6" double point needles, 11"circulars as well as crochet hooks.
Hiya also carries some uniquely beautiful small project bags.
Beautiful colors, fabrics and designs.
Pop into Wild Purls to try the new HiyaHiya Needles!
