Accessory Brands

If you are just starting out in the world of knitting, it is best to begin with affordable, reliable and easy-to-use brands. In this regard, both Garmon and Opry offer basic needles with simple designs, good ergonomics and very affordable prices. These brands are designed to help you learn without complications and without having to invest a lot at the beginning. In addition, they are usually available in the most common thicknesses, which will make it easier for you to follow patterns for beginners. Inexpensive knitting needle brands like these are ideal for familiarising yourself with the technique and gaining confidence in your first projects.

These three brands cater to different user profiles. Pony is an internationally established brand known for its wide range of products and excellent value for money. Its needles and crochet hooks are available in many materials and styles. Opry, on the other hand, offers more basic and straightforward solutions, ideal for those looking for functionality without extras. Garmon, our own brand, is specially designed for beginner knitters who want simple, durable and easy-to-use tools. The choice between them will depend on your experience, type of work and budget.

Yes, many knitters combine products from different brands depending on what they need for each project. You can use Pony needles for a straight knitting project, and then a Scheepjes crochet hook to finish off. However, it is important to bear in mind that some brands use their own measurements (especially in interchangeable sets), so there may be slight differences in length, texture or actual thickness. If you work with fixed tools, you won't have any problems. But if you're putting together a modular set, it's best to stick with compatible knitting accessories from the same manufacturer.

In our current selection, Pony and Scheepjes are the brands that stand out the most in terms of ergonomics. Pony offers models with padded, non-slip handles, designed for those who knit for long hours or have sensitive hands. Scheepjes, although better known for its yarn, has also developed crochet hooks with comfortable handles and a good grip. If you are looking for comfort, light weight and control when working, these two brands are the most recommended in the collection of recommended crochet hook brands at Garmonyarns.,

When you buy your tools grouped by brand, you get several benefits: consistency in design, uniformity in measurements, consistent quality and, above all, ease of use. Many knitters prefer to work with the same brand because they are already familiar with its feel, weight and finish. This helps to avoid unintentional changes in tension or discomfort when switching tools. In addition, some brands offer complete sets that are more economical. That's why many users prefer to buy knitting accessories by brand, especially when they find one that suits their style.

Currently, within our store, Pony is the brand with the largest catalogue in terms of types of needles, crochet hooks and accessories. It has options for straight, circular, interchangeable, auxiliary and wool needles, and many more. It also offers complementary tools such as threaders, stoppers and markers. Other brands such as Opry and Scheepjes also offer variety, but to a lesser extent. If you are looking for a versatile manufacturer capable of covering multiple techniques, Pony is an excellent choice among the knitting and crochet accessory brands available at Garmonyarns.

When giving gifts, it's best to choose brands that offer complete sets and well-presented cases. Although we don't yet work with premium brands such as KnitPro or Tulip, we do have some interesting options from brands such as Pony and Scheepjes, which include sets of needles or crochet hooks in different sizes, organised in basic cases or pouches. You can also create a personalised kit by combining tools from different brands. Just choose the most commonly used sizes and add some useful accessories. Giving knitting accessory sets by brand is an excellent way to introduce someone to the world of crafts.

If you are looking for functional, durable and affordable accessories, we recommend Garmon and Opry. Both brands focus on offering basic tools that are ideal for hassle-free knitting. They are perfect for beginners, school workshops or people who are taking up knitting again. Although they do not offer premium finishes, they do the job effectively. In addition, you can find most of their products in standard thicknesses, making it easy to find replacements or additions. These are undoubtedly two of the best brands of low-budget knitting accessories available in our shop.
