Featured in Knitting Magazine Issue 245
Our Stitch-unpick in Native Timbers was featured in Knitting magazine Issue 245, the UK’s original and best magazine devoted to the craft of knitting. Each edition blends fashion with the stitches and styles knitters love, offering a wide range of contemporary designs, patterns and creative ideas for women, men, children and the home.
Knitting is known for its strong sense of style and its focus on helping readers link their handmade pieces with current fashion and home trends. The magazine features work from leading hand-knit designers worldwide while also bringing new and emerging designers to print for the first time. Alongside patterns, it includes in-depth reports on key issues, the latest knitting news, must-buy items, techniques and clear how-to guidance, making it essential reading for knitters of all levels.
Issue 245 celebrates “sunshine styles,” with its gallery exploring the colours of the sun from dawn to dusk. The edition also marks a farewell to long-term columnist Laura “Purl Princess” Parkinson while introducing new designs suited to late summer and the transition into autumn. Readers also get a look at upcoming launches from major yarn brands and a mix of inspiration drawn from both past and future trends.
The magazine featured our Stitch-unpick in Native Timbers, a practical and beautifully made tool designed for sewing, mending and clothing alterations. With its generous turned handle, the tool is comfortable to grasp, giving users something solid to hold while working. Each seam ripper comes in a hand-turned timber case with a lid that fits securely while still being easy to open.
The stitch-unpick cases are crafted from sustainably sourced Australian native timbers, which may include Silky Oak, Myrtle, Sheoak, Blackwood or Sassafras depending on availability. Their natural textures and colours make every piece unique. Light in weight and easy to post, they make thoughtful gifts for anyone who sews or alters clothing and can be paired with matching native timber needle cases.
The inclusion of the Stitch-unpick in Native Timbers in Knitting magazine reflects its usefulness to crafters and its appeal to readers who appreciate tools made with care, practicality and natural materials. It is a simple but well designed addition to any sewing kit.
