A completely new, freshly designed range of accessories was successfully launched at the Stitch & Craft Show 2010. Products have been designed by KB Knitting and brought to life by the local artisan women of Golcuk, Turkey. A town which was completely devastated a decade ago by an earthquake is rebuilding itself as a centre for art & culture and KB's mission is to help these local women turn their art into viable products.

Turkish wood needles hand-painted by Ebru Master Zeyneb Orhan using a unique centuries-old formula of marbling (Ebru) using Turkish root dyes. Patent pending.
