MAGIC OF INDIA
Craft holiday specialist Stitchtopia is to begin
running knitting and crochet tours in India.
Starting in February 2021, the tour promises
to be a memorable experience, taking in the
sights of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur.
Stitchtopia is working closely with KnitPro
to develop the itinerary for this cultural tour.
As well as visiting the Taj Mahal, the Amber
Fort, and the Keoladeo National Park, guests
can visit Delhi’s national craft museum,
and enjoy the Surajkund Crafts Mela, while
designer Carol Meldrum will be teaching
workshops. There will also be trips to see
some of the community initiatives supported
by KnitPro, plus a tour of its needle factory.

STITCHKEEPERS
Designed to prevent stitches from slipping off
your double-pointed needles, StitchKeepers by
Rollie are nifty little caps which fit over the end
of your needles. They’re joined by an elastic
band which keeps them snugly in place, and are
available in a range of sizes to fit needles from
2mm to 5.5mm, and lengths of 10-25cm.

more shades to its 5-ply
Romney Guernsey range, so
knitters can now choose from
a palette of blues, greys, olives,
burgundy and undyed white,
for their gansey projects.
