Hi Jody! I have been a Kollage fan for years. I go back and forth on dpn’s and circular for socks. Just received the 9” circular from Kollage and am having a hard time figuring out how the needles should be held. How in’s the bend in the needle supposed to be held?
Hi Majorie, I’ve sent you an email and I’ll get back to you when I have more information. Cheers Jodie
I am desperately seeking cable connectors for Kollage cables. Kollage Canada does not make them. Do you have any old stock?
Hi Kate. I don’t have any stock as I don’t sell directly. I’ve done some research and it seems that the cable connectors are hard to find as they haven’t been made for quite some time. If I come across any, I will get back in touch. Cheers Jodie
