About Xenaknits
Written by the company
We are an ethical family business based in the beautiful British Cheshire countryside, offering a fabulous range of high quality yarns, knitting machine sponge kits and needles.
Xenaknits.com started out as a small retail knitting market stall, selling only a few knitting yarns, evolving into a website supplying knitting products around the world.
Because of our exceptional customer service, business stability and fast delivery times, are all contributing to the successful growth of xenaknits.com. Also, we often go above and beyond to help customers because we care about you, our customer.
Whenever possible, we try to stock yarns from ethical sources, such as Fair Trade spinners and knitting yarn dyers.
With some of our Turkish yarns we buy direct from the artisan spinning families, this enables the people who make the yarns to benefit from the product they are producing.
We sell the world-famous award-winning Zuusco sponge bar kits for knitting machines. Maybe you need replacement needles for your knitting machines. We have them in stock, too.
One of the most common questions we are asked is where did the name come from? We had a lovely dog who died of cancer, so we named the business after her, very sad, but we wanted a way to remember her.
We have always loved knitting and yarns, and we hope you visit our website.

Good item
Instructions suggested that sticky tape was included, I couldn't find any but it wasn't a problem as I used selotape which I had. Item fitted well and instructions were good, although I did use a you tube video as well.

Thank you for the review and highlighting the mistake we made. We will ensure all orders are triple checked prior to sending. However, if you had contacted us upon receipt of your order, we would have rectified the issue straight away.
We do not recommend using selotape as a replacement for the tape we supply because it's detrimental to the knitting machine’s life-span.
It pleases us our YouTube video was useful.
Thank you

The km needles look great & I am sure that they will fit as I have had no problems with this company before. The Covid problem meant that the time frame was slow for delivery but nothing that the UK company had any control over.
