🚨 THEY’RE BACK! 💡
After our last shipment of Lumos Knitting Lights completely sold out in just 48 hours, we’ve secured another shipment and they’ve officially landed! 🎉

This time we’ve brought in 50 more lamps, plus NEW colours including Blue, Yellow and Red alongside the favourites White, Black, Pink and Lavender.

If you knit, crochet, embroider, quilt or sew in the evenings, you’ll quickly understand why these have become one of the most talked-about crafting accessories around. Hands-free lighting, rechargeable convenience and crystal-clear visibility exactly where you need it.

With the last batch disappearing in two days, we wouldn’t leave this one too long.

🧶 What started as a small yarn section has quickly become one of the fastest-growing parts of Direct Sewing. Thanks to the incredible support from knitters and crocheters across New Zealand, we’ve already had to expand our shelving to make room for more yarn, needles, hooks and accessories.

We’re continuing to add exciting ranges from Rowan, Sirdar, Crucci, Broadway, DMC, Countrywide and more as we work towards becoming a true destination for knitting and crochet in New Zealand.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported our yarn journey so far. We’re only just getting started!
