About Xenaknits
Written by the company
We are an ethical family business based in the beautiful British Cheshire countryside, offering a fabulous range of high quality yarns, knitting machine sponge kits and needles.
Xenaknits.com started out as a small retail knitting market stall, selling only a few knitting yarns, evolving into a website supplying knitting products around the world.
Because of our exceptional customer service, business stability and fast delivery times, are all contributing to the successful growth of xenaknits.com. Also, we often go above and beyond to help customers because we care about you, our customer.
Whenever possible, we try to stock yarns from ethical sources, such as Fair Trade spinners and knitting yarn dyers.
With some of our Turkish yarns we buy direct from the artisan spinning families, this enables the people who make the yarns to benefit from the product they are producing.
We sell the world-famous award-winning Zuusco sponge bar kits for knitting machines. Maybe you need replacement needles for your knitting machines. We have them in stock, too.
One of the most common questions we are asked is where did the name come from? We had a lovely dog who died of cancer, so we named the business after her, very sad, but we wanted a way to remember her.
We have always loved knitting and yarns, and we hope you visit our website.

I researched new sponges for my knitting machine and found that Xena Knits offered the best value which included free delivery. The delivery was prompt and came with very useful information on how to replace the sponge on the sponge bar.
I will definitely be using Xena Knits again. : )

Excellent customer service from Xenaknits. So helpful and informative. I have given 5 stars, although the reason they don’t/or can’t supply all the parts I need through no fault of their own, their focus on knitting machines particularly vintage ones having changed. Nevertheless, they went over and above to assist me in my needs and direct me to where I might get what I needed. I learnt a lot speaking to David who really helped me to understand the complexities of knitting machines and how I could maintain mine to a good standard. Chris helped me via email answering my questions as best he could through with only my inexperienced questions and photos. I’m Pleased to say that as a result I am making good progress in getting my tired vintage machine up and running. Check out their videos. Super helpful too.
