The Nicest Hand Spindles You’ll Own
Tom’s favorite item to turn is hand spindles. He’s missed turning them and decided this was the year to bring them back! We’ll be updating the spindle section of the store as he gets new ones turned and polished.

Nobody makes double points like Tom!
INTERCHANGEABLES
Darn Pretty™ interchangeable knitting needles are beyond comparison. Crafted from dyed, laminated US Birch, each needle is turned, pointed, and polished in our Vermont studio by Tom Diak.
Sets include three coated wire swivel cables, four DC logo end stops, and a case made here at home from top quality quilting cottons.

We use our hands to craft the tools destined to be held in your hands. We design all our tools to be beautiful to the eye and comfortable in the hand. Whether it is wood items we craft here or those we design and have crafted for us, our tools look, feel and perform beautifully.
We are located in beautiful Chester, Vermont. Our wood shop is in a nearby village, but it is in Chester where we polish, buff, and fine tune our needles, sew our cases, and craft our cables. All of our components and materials are sourced in the US, locally when possible.
