Random Beading and throwing dye is fun! However, what we love most is to Custom create. If you can't see anything that takes your fancy, click the Custom Yarn or Stitchmarker links under the main catagory headings to start the creative process!

About PurpleKitchen

Nikki’s Purplekitchen produces exclusive and unique hand dyed yarns and jewelery standard stitchmarkers

It all started when Nikki wanted some “Knitting Jewelery”.

However, because she tends to use needles above 9mm, none of the plastic ring manufacturers or crafters that make and sell jewelery type markers seem to make ones with rings big enough for her needles!

So, being a crafty individual, she did some research about how to make them, bought lots of stuff and made a load of pretty things!!!

Being made from precious metals and glass they have a wonderful heft and substance, are very soothing to both look at and use, and glide over the needles in use.

As all beads are unique, every marker is also unique, although sometimes she makes similar sets if there are the beads to do it in the random beads she buys as the mood takes her.

She then got a fascination with dyeing. Again, there is a deficit of chunky and above “art” yarns. So, she started dyeing yarn with Kool-Aid, which is “ok” but she quickly progressed to experimenting with professional grade acid-dyes.

Being able to create seemingly random and vibrant colourways with sumptuous yarns and glossy beads has certainly become a creative passion.

However, as there is only so many stitchmarkers and yarns that you can make and keep, and seeing as a great deal of her friends also loved her work, the idea for a proper shop was born.

She even finds time to knit, and there are a few original patterns that are scribbled down in her notebook, waiting for her to have the few hours needed to type them up!
